Description
Cool-climate méthode-traditionnelle sparklings is the core of Taltarni winemaking and this brilliant 2016 vintage Sparkling Brut exemplifies that perfectly. 2016 was a warmer year with a cool spring and early summer nights which defined this vintage as one that displayed elegant fruit flavour and balanced acid. The wine is light straw in colour and displays a delicate bead, enhanced by an extended time on tirage lees, which has also resulted in a persistent and creamy mousse. Complex aromas of honey and bright citrus are complemented with elegant aromas of brioche and roasted nuts. A bright natural acidity that lingers on the finish extends the length of the palate, whilst a soft creamy texture fills the mid palate. Partial malolactic fermentation creates volume and texture, whilst a lower dosage complements the natural acid that lingers on the palate. Has already been allowed to age in bottle meaning it will drink beautifully on release but will also cellar well for another 5-7 years. Serve with oysters, sushi or other fresh seafood, or enjoy by itself as an aperitif.
