A Victorian flagship effort in the uniquely Australian experience of icon Shiraz Cabernet wines. Taltarni blends modern Australian winemaking with traditional French vinification practices, encapsulating the philosophy of forming a nexus between new and old world methodologies. Taltarni Reserve is an accord of two noble red varietals which have brought Taltarni international renown. Grown to superior Pyrenees vineyards, Cabernet lays down the solid structure and contributes profound berry perfumes, Shiraz brings flesh and adds piquant aromatic spice.

Identifying the right proportions for each wine and assembling the finest parcels are a labour of love for the Taltarni team. The final wine represents flawless balance and impeccable structure while delivering the requisite voluptuousness, richness and full bodied profile that is distinctly Pyrenees. Grapes are harvested to optimal flavour development and balance of ripe tannins. Batches are kept separate, destemmed and crushed to fermenters for vinification on skins over the course of two or three weeks, followed by an old fashioned basket press into a high proportion of new French oak barriques. After completion of malolactic, components are assembled and returned to barrel for eighteen months.
