Being a great lover of Kasteel Cru (we used to buy it by the pallet load) I was surprised to have only just found out about the rose beer.

In its native Australia, Taltarni is a household name, famous for its high quality sparking wine. The Brut Taché, a wine we used to stock way back in the bar, is a class leader. Taché is French for ’stained’ and refers to the light salmon, rose hue of the wine. This is a blend of three sparkling wine varietals, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, sourced from cool climate vineyards in Victoria and Tasmania.
