The Taltarni ‘dynamic’ range of wines represents the style, taste and artistic expression of our winemakers. The ancient Cambrian earth is the iconic red soil that the vineyards of Heathcote are established on. This soil is widely regarded as the reason for the region’s unique Shiraz with distinctive fruit aromas and choc-mocha flavours. Sourced from a single vineyard, the grapes were harvested in the cool of the early morning and placed into open-top fermenters where they were allowed to cold soak to maximise the flavour extraction. With fermentation starting naturally, the grapes were submerged under the wine with French oak planks. This was done to optimize the natural flavours of the grapes while extracting elegant, soft tannin. Once pressed, the wine was placed into a range of aged French oak barrels to further enrich & develop. -

Taltarni’s estate-grown reds are renowned as some of Australia’s longest lived and most cellar-worthy. 2017 was an ideal growing season in the Pryenees for full flavoured, cool climate red wines. An early onset of spring saw the vineyard came back into life and producing fruit earlier in the year. With limited rain fall through-out the season, the vines produced fruit rich in concentration and full of flavour. Whole berry ferments were destemmed and not crushed into small open-top fermenters to minimise any mechanical impact. This technique has resulted in a finely balanced wine that is driven by its varietal flavours and natural structure. The parcels were co-inoculated for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. It took ten days on skins to extract the perfect balance of structure and aromatics prior to pressing. -
Taltarni’s estate-grown reds are renowned as some of Australia’s longest lived and most cellar-worthy. An ideal growing season produced high-quality fruit within the region. With an early onset of summer, the fruit quickly ripened and developed full and intense flavours.

Fermented in small batches, these parcels were kept separate throughout the winery process to maximise each parcel’s uniqueness. The partial whole bunch ferments were submerged, adding to the richness and complexity as well as quickly developing into a silky and balanced wine -
