Technical
The Taltarni ‘Discovery’ range of wines is comprised of some rare and some not-so-rare varietals and blends that are a little off the beaten track. These wines allow our winemakers to experiment with style, structure, taste, and artistic expression and give drinkers of these wines the opportunity of Discovery.
vintage
Growing conditions for the vines leading into the 2023 season were ideal with minimum heat and water stress.
winemaking
With a creamy and textural palate, derived from time spent on lees post-fermentation, the bouquet is dominated by citrus and stone fruit aromas. A subtle use of oak coupled with a nice line of acid gives the wine good structure and length making the wine perfect for drinking now and into the future. The grapes were left to ripen slowly in the eastern morning sun and harvested in the cool hours of the morning to retain the freshness and intensity of the fruit. Gently pressed, the juice was then cold-settled with fermentation taking place both in barrel and stainless steel tanks.

The cool climate shines through with green kiwi, melon and bright star fruit flavours. The acidity is clean, bracing and vibrant. It is a youthful, refreshing wine. - Toni Paterson.
