Taltarni Sparkling Brut NV 750mL is a premium méthode-traditionnelle sparkling wine from Victoria's Pyrenees region, showcasing elegant citrus, brioche, and creamy texture.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

A beautiful light straw colour with brilliant clarity and a delicate, persistent bead. The fine bubbles rise gracefully through the glass, creating an elegant mousse that speaks to extended time on tirage lees. The wine displays excellent effervescence with a creamy, persistent mousse that coats the glass.

Aroma

The bouquet is complex and inviting, revealing layers of honeyed richness and bright citrus notes including lemon zest and grapefruit. These fresh fruit aromas are beautifully complemented by elegant secondary characters of freshly baked brioche, toasted almonds, and roasted hazelnuts—hallmarks of quality traditional-method sparkling wine production. Subtle hints of biscuit and cream add further depth and sophistication.

Palate

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

Pairs With

This elegant Victorian sparkling wine pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, seared scallops, smoked salmon canapés, soft cheeses such as triple cream brie, chicken terrine, and almond-based desserts, making it perfect for celebrations and aperitif occasions.

Winemaking Notes

The Taltarni Sparkling Brut is a cuvée blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, crafted using the méthode traditionnelle. This traditional approach involves a secondary fermentation in bottle, creating the wine's characteristic fine bubbles and complex flavour profile. Extended time on tirage lees develops the wine's creamy texture and adds layers of brioche and toasted nut characters. Partial malolactic fermentation is employed to create additional volume and texture on the palate, whilst a lower dosage allows the wine's natural acidity to shine through. The careful blending of these three classic sparkling wine varieties ensures balance and complexity, with Chardonnay providing elegance and citrus notes, Pinot Noir contributing structure and depth, and Pinot Meunier adding fruit character and approachability.

Vintage Conditions

As a non-vintage cuvée, the Taltarni Sparkling Brut represents a consistent house style that showcases the best characteristics of Victoria's Pyrenees region across multiple growing seasons. The blending of wines from different vintages allows the winemaking team to maintain quality and consistency year after year, ensuring the wine displays the hallmark bright natural acidity, honeyed citrus aromas, and persistent creamy mousse that define this expression. The Pyrenees region's cool climate and elevated vineyards provide ideal conditions for producing premium sparkling wine fruit with natural acidity and elegant flavour development.
