Taché is a French word meaning ‘stained’ and refers to the rare winemaking method used since 1985 by Taltarni to create this fine rosé-coloured sparkling wine. Its amazing delicate salmon pink colour is achieved by adding a dash of red wine liqueur to the finished tirage wine at disgorgement.
Taltarni’s Brut Taché 2004 is a blend of three classic sparkling wine varietals Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier sourced from our cool climate vineyards in Victorian and Tasmanian wine regions.
Each bottle of Taltarni Brut Taché is fermented in its original bottle and matured on yeast lees for 18 months followed by 3 months on cork prior to release according to traditional methods to create a final complex and sophisticated sparkling wine style.
An engaging salmon-pink colour enhanced by a fine persistent bead, on the nose an assortment of fresh fruit, Turkish delight, rose petals,apricot blossom and luscious white peach aromas complemented by complex nougat and yeast characters.
An elegant sparkling wine of great length; finishing crisp, dry and refreshing.
An ideal aperitif or serve with fresh prawns, sushi, oysters & soft cheeses..
