Tasting Notes:
Taché is a French word meaning ‘stained’ and refers to the rare winemaking method used since 1985 at Taltarni to create this fine unique rosé-coloured sparkling wine. Its delicate salmon pink colour is achieved by adding a dash of red wine liqueur to the finished tirage wine at disgorgement. Crafted from a traditional blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, Taltarni Brut Taché is bottle fermented and matured for a minimum of 18 months according to traditional ‘Mêthode Champenoise’ practices.
This premium vintage estate wine delights with its pale onionskin salmon hue and subtle berry and yeast aromas that introduce a creamy delicate palate enriches with gentle strawberry shortcake notes. The ideal match for raw seafood- sushi and sashimi, prawns or slow roasted Atlantic salmon. Tingles well with Thai food too.
With its dazzling colour, abundant fruit and mouth filling flavour, Taltarni Brut Taché epitomises the refinement and personality which have been known as Taltarni’s house style.
Awards and Points:
THE WINE ADVOCATE Robert Parker 90 points '...delightful, well-priced sparkling wine composed of 52% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir, and 7% Pinot Meunier. A dash of red wine liqueur is added to the finished triage wine at disgorgement to create the salmon pink color. The nose offers rose petal, peach, apricot, and wheat thin scents leading to a sparkler with a steady, persistent stream of small bubbles and red berry and nutty flavors. On the palate the wine is dry and refreshing, with a long, clean finish. '
