Zur Geschichte des australischen Weinguts von Taltarni Vineyards:
Das Weingut TALTARNI VINEYARDS wurde 1969 in der "Pyrenees" Weinregion im australischen Bundesstaat Victoria gegründet. Die uralten Great Western Weinrebenstöcke haben ihren Ursprung im Jahre 1864.

Besitzer ist seit 1972 JOHN GOELET, ein ausgewanderter Franzose aus Bordeaux. Unterstützt wird er von Rebenbauer MATTHEW BAILEY (2014 Gewinner des renommierten Awards "Viticulturist of the Year Award - Australian Society of Viticulture & Oenology") und seit 2009 von Chef-Kellermeister ROBERT (ROO) HEYWOOD (siehe grosses Bild ganz oben links) und Winemaker PETER WARR (Bild darunter). Vorher war jahrelang der Franzose LOIC LE CALVEZ für die Weinkellerei zuständig. In der Taltarni-Restaurant-Küche hat der prämierte Master-Chef BEN MILBOURNE (kleines Bild) den Kochlöffel in der Hand.

Seit 2007 ist TALTARNI VINEYARDS in der Wine-Ventures-Group GOELET WINE ESTATES, mit Clos du Val (Napa Valley, California), Clover Hill (Tasmanien, Australien) und Domaine de Nizas (Languedoc, France), zusammengefasst.

Taltarni Vineyards - Australia:
The American owner and founder, JOHN GOELET, of Clos du Val in 1972 (Napa Valley, California) & Taltarni has brought the management of Clover Hill (Australia) and Domaine de Nizas (Languedoc, France) under the one roof, the group known since 2007 as Goelet Wine Estates. Taltarni is the largest of the Australian ventures, its estate vineyards of great value and underpinning the substantial annual production.

Taltarni Vineyards was established in 1969, Taltarni is one of the founding wineries of Victorias Pyrenees wine Region in Australia. Owner John Goelet, a direct descendant of the Guestier wine merchant family of Bordeaux, discovered and purchased Taltarni Vineyards in 1972 after conducting a worldwide search for a site comparable to the great vineyards of Bordeaux.

Independently owned by the Goelet family, Taltarni has had a strong French influence from the outset, with initial plantings of Bordeaux varieties, including cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. Shortly thereafter, Taltarni extended its plantings to encompass sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, shiraz (sourced from vines planted in 1868 in Great Western) as well as pinot noir and pinot meunier, allowing the winemakers to produce crisp sparkling and fresh white wines.

The first wine from the Moonambel vineyard was released in 1977; immediate success followed with the wine collecting gold at the Royal Melbourne Show – an early acknowledgment of the potential of the vineyard. In 1979, Taltarni´s Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded the Los Angeles Times International Best Red Wine ahead of world greats.

Today, Taltarni Vineyards combines old-world traditions with innovative new-world techniques to produce a diverse range of high-calibre still wines and méthode traditionnelle-crafted sparklings.

The diversity of our folio ensures that there is a perfect Taltarni Vineyards wine for all your key moments in life. So, whether it is Taché at your wedding, the Fumé Blanc at a BBQ with your nearest and dearest, the Reserve to commemorate an anniversary or T Series to toast the everyday enjoyable moments that comprise our lives, there is always a perfect Taltarni Vineyards accompaniment.

Taltarni´s labels feature a 17th century cartouche. A cartouche is a custom-designed medallion that was worn around the necks of ancient civilisations to protect against loss of name and identity. Worn on each bottle, Taltarni´s cartouche presents and protects the identity of the wine. The design on the cartouche, which was a feature of Taltarni´s very first label in 1977, depicts Saint Peter holding the keys to the Kingdom. A metaphor, in this case, for key moments in life.

Robert "Roo" Heywood – Chief Winemaker, Taltarni Vineyards:
Robert Heywood grew up in Victoria´s Western District, in Hamilton, developing a love for agriculture while working on farms around the district during his school holidays. After completing secondary school, he took twelve months off to do a GAP year in the UK. During his European travels, Roo found a new love in wine and viticulture and decided to follow this newfound passion upon his return back to Oz. He completed a Diploma in Horticulture at Melbourne University but wanted to focus more on viticulture so it was off to La Trobe University to study viticulture science and winemaking. Upon completion of his studies, Roo worked as a winemaker in South Australia´s Barossa Valley. Whilst working with some of the country´s best fruit, as well as some of the best winemakers in the Valley, Roo found he had a real passion for red wine making, especially shiraz. During this stint in SA, he traveled to the Northern Hemisphere to do vintages in Bordeaux´s St-Émilion at Château Teyssier in 2004 and 2006. It was while working with the French that he came to fully appreciate and understand the importance of producing the best possible fruit in addition to crafting the best possible wine. With this newfound knowledge, it was time to return to Australia to apply these skills to Australia’s distinctive fruit styles. In 2008, it was back to the Northern Hemisphere, this time to World´s End Winery in California´s Napa Valley. Roo found an old friend in cabernet while in the Napa, and his love for the variety was reignited. Upon his return to Australia, Roo moved "home" to Victoria. He found a fantastic opportunity in 2009 at Taltarni Vineyards and has not looked back since, enjoying the huge variety at Taltarni, not only working with great red fruit but also magnificent sparkling and white varieties. The variety of Roo´s work extends beyond winemaking; he and wife Catherine welcomed their second baby daughter in 2013.
