Taltarni and Cabernet are back in town with that brilliant Pyrenees Cabernet. Typical aromas of blackcurrant leafiness and cigar box and a refined complex medium weight palate with supple texture makes this Taltarni release great drinking now and will cellar extremely well for years to come.
Awards and Accolades
2014 Vintage: 93 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Varietal and regional to a T. Restrained flavours and balanced with a core of sweet blackcurrants and berries, eucalypt and bay leaves, a stream of mint-chocolate and cedary oak. Tannins are firm and edgy - they need to settle and will in time."
From the Winery
Crafted exclusively from estate grown fruit, Old Block Cabernet Sauvignon honours the winery’s international reputation for making superb red wines. The fruit was destemmed only and whole berry fermented in small open-top fermenters. This technique allowed the primary fruit characteristics to be brought through to the end of the wine. The ferments took approximately 8 days to extract the perfect balance of structure and aromatics prior to pressing. The wine then undertook malolactic fermentation in a mix of new to 4 year old French oak barriques and then aged in those same barrels for 18 months.
