Brown Brothers Tarrango 2008/2009 75cl Code: Country: Region: Category: Barcode: Australia Victoria Australian Red Wine 029147340862 Description: A delicate, light-bodied red wine that should be served slightly chilled. The wine is a vibrant cherry-red colour with lifted aromas of raspberries and cherries with a hint of spice. This refreshing wine is characterised by aromas and flavours reminiscent of red berries and a delicate dry finish. With a very low tannin level and a vibrant, juicy mouth-feel this light red is a delicious and versatile alterative that is best enjoyed young and fresh. Background Information: Tarrango is a unique Australian grape variety, bred by CSIRO scientists in 1965 by crossing the Portuguese red grape variety Touriga with the versatile white grape Sultana. It was developed specifically to produce a light, fresh red wine ideal for summer drinking in the many countries with warm to hot summers. Named after the tiny township of Tarrango in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria where it was designed to thrive, the vines bear generous crops that ripen late and maintain a fresh acidity and soft grapey flavour. The Brown family has been making wines from Tarrango since 1980. In recent years, a small amount of fruit has been fermented by the carbonic maceration technique, as practiced in Beaujolais and other areas in southern France, where berries are allowed to ferment whole and uncrushed. This contributes added complexity and flavour to the final wine. BUY 6 FOR £6.85 EACH.
