Taltarni Sparkling Brut NV 750mL | Pyrenees

From the cool elevated vineyards of Victoria's Pyrenees region, the Taltarni Sparkling Brut NV is a refined méthode traditionnelle cuvée that speaks with quiet authority. A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, crafted in the classic tradition of secondary fermentation in bottle, it delivers the elegance and complexity that have made Taltarni one of Australia's most respected sparkling wine producers.

Appearance

Beautiful light straw with brilliant clarity and a delicate, persistent bead. Fine bubbles rise gracefully through the glass, forming a creamy, sustained mousse — a hallmark of extended time on tirage lees.

Aroma

Complex and inviting, with honeyed richness and bright citrus — lemon zest and grapefruit — woven through elegant secondary characters of freshly baked brioche, toasted almonds and roasted hazelnuts. Subtle hints of biscuit and cream add further depth and sophistication.

Palate

Vibrant natural acidity provides freshness and drive, whilst a soft, creamy texture fills the mid-palate with luxurious volume. Citrus and stone fruit interweave with nutty, yeasty notes from extended lees ageing. Partial malolactic fermentation adds texture and complexity, whilst a lower dosage allows the wine's natural acid structure to shine. The finish is long, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and brioche that invite the next sip.

Pairs With

Fresh oysters, seared scallops, smoked salmon canapés, triple cream brie, chicken terrine and almond-based desserts. Perfect for celebrations and aperitif occasions.
