You are then treated to a slice of wobbly passionfruit curd tart with vanilla bean and toasted coconut in the crust. It's an invoking wine and one that makes me hungry as you can tell. Richly textured with brioche, honey and roasted cashews, there is a bit of everything all at once in this wine.

This delightful, gently sparkling wine is comprised of not one or two, but five grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Gewürztraminer. That’s a busy blend for sure, but it works a treat. Pét-Nat tends to write its own rules. This is right up its alley. With so many personalities joined by the bubble here, the result is the kind of individuality which works so well with the petillant naturel (Pét-Nat) style, bringing a taste of the exotic and filling the mouth with a plush, textural appeal, not to mention flavour. Colour is a smoky pink-salmon. Aromatics are lifted and lively in rose petal, cranberry, cherry, mango and riveting spice. On the palate, the small but essential role of Gewürztraminer’s spice has to be noted in elevating a sense of the exotic – not to mention Sauvignon’s touch of herbal intrigue – alongside warm tropical fruit and berry notes. The gentle, fine bubble caps off a delicious sparkling. So many Pét-Nats tend towards the bland.

The cold whole bunches of Chardonnay were then tipped into the press which then squeezed the juice out by the use of an airbag inflating to low pressures – this is the most gentle way to extract the juice and is a prerequisite to making world class Chardonnay wine. The juice was allowed a limited amount of controlled oxidation with the turbid juice then going straight into barrel – 100% French oak puncheons (500L) used with 18% being new and the balance 1yr old. All barrels wild fermented on solids to dryness before a small amount of SO2 was added, and the wine chilled and barrels topped and bunged. No MLF was allowed. Battonage was undertaken on each new barrel every 4 weeks and on the 1yr barrels every 8 weeks.

The start of the new year saw much needed dry and mild weather which facilitated ripening before early February saw some additional rainfall which slowed things and dialed up the potential for disease as the fruit started to accumulate sugar and flavour. Our vineyards had ideal canopies and crop loads coming into ripening from the work done during the growing season so faired brilliantly in these potentially challenging conditions. Dry, mild weather then followed which saw Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc and Merlot achieve full flavour with plush tannins and perfumed aromatics – all hallmarks of the 2021 vintage.

The selectively harvested fruit was destemmed with any additional MOG (Material Other than Grapes) such as leaves being removed before the berries were transferred to small stainless steel static fermenters.  The Cabernet Sauvignon underwent partial wild fermentation before a select yeast culture was added at a low rate to finish fermentation which lasted 10 days. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc also underwent partial wild fermentation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage saw all three varieties pressed off skins just prior to dryness to achieve the desired structure and end blend style. The Franc and Merlot were matured separately in seasoned French oak puncheons (500L) with the Cabernet Sauvignon spending 12 months maturing in French oak hogsheads (300L) of which only ~10% were new (the balance 1-3yr French oak hogsheads).

A mild spring followed with October having significantly higher rainfall than average and spring being cool and cloudy in general.

The new-entry cuvée for the Fogarty Group's Tasmanian sparkling operation is crisp, fresh and fruity, built around cool, Tasman Peninsula pinot noir. Crunchy red apples, strawberries and lemons are the theme. Clean, precise and well put together, this is a well-balanced apéritif, more about fruit than texture or complexity. It will appreciate a little bottle age to build depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[points rating=\"90\" title=\"Ray Jordan Wine Guide\"]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thalia","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":42879969230918,"sku":"3331SPKNVD67GIFT","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1139\/8708\/files\/Thalia_NV_Secondary.jpg?v=1696467073"},{"product_id":"thalia-rose-nv-gift-boxed","title":"Thalia Rosé NV (Gift Boxed)","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePlease note: must be purchased in multiples of six\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ecolour\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale blush with a fine bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003earoma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifted red fruit aromatics of cranberry and strawberry, with a subtle hint of citrus peel adding complexity and intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003epalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichly assembled on the palate delivering layers of subtle spice, raspberry mousse and lightly toasted baguette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ecellaring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive to seven years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e[split]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003evintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blend of select vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ewinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked and whole bunch pressed, cool fermented in stainless steel.
