Taltarni Vineyards & Winery
Advertisements
A farmer and miner, Yorkshireman Edwin Makereth, first planted vines in Avoca in 1887. At this time Italian viticultural expert, Romeo Bragato, further claimed the suitability of Avoca as a winegrowing district. He particularly noted the areas¹ good drainage and advised the planting of shiraz, pinot noir and mataro and encouraged several other farmers to establish small vineyards in the area.

Established in 1969, Taltarni is a founding winery of Victoria’s Pyrenees wine region. The picturesque 700ha property, purchased by current owner John Goelet (and Red Earth Nominees) in 1972, released its first wine in 1977. Today Taltarni has 132ha of vines.
The Pyrenees wine district is one of life’s hidden treasures – the rolling hills, sweeping bluffs and gum trees create a beautiful landscape and a great place to relax. In local aboriginal dialect Taltarni means ‘red earth', describing the rich, red soil of the region.
Taltarni also has vineyards, Clover Hill and Lalla Gully in the Piper’s River region of NE Tasmania and sources fruit from Victoria's Heathcote wine region. Establishment of vineyards at four unique sites creates a diversity of wine styles.
Taltarni Vineyards has a strong sales, marketing and export team overseen by Taltarni Chief Executive Adam Torpy and Taltarni's International Sales Manager Richard Kingman. Both are eager to implement the strategic vision of Taltarni Vineyards and build recognition of an established Australian wine company in local and international markets.
