Taltarni Blanc de Blancs 2011

Taltarni Blanc de Blancs 2011 (Victoria)
12%, Diam, $26

All Victorian fruit in this Taltarni bubbly.

Has a tart green apple fruit nose and a hint of some nice Chard florals – pretty and lifted. Slightly too much green apple fruit and tart acidity but awfully serious for the price. I’d genuinely enjoy drinking this more than most $26 Aus bubbles really. Aching for more bottle and lees ageing though – just a bit more weight to soften the edges.

Easy value recommendation regardless, particularly as it can be picked up for under $20 in retail land.
