TASTING NOTES

Thalia is a Tasmanian sparkling range created by the Fogarty family, named after the Greek muse of festivity. After reclaiming the historic Lowestoft homestead six generations on, the family crafts wines using the traditional method and minimal intervention.

The non‑vintage blend is around 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 2% Pinot Meunier; fruit is sourced 55% from the Tasman Peninsula and 45% from the East Coast, areas renowned for cool‑climate acidity.

The base wines are fermented in stainless steel, then bottled for a second fermentation and extended lees ageing. Dosage is approximately 6 g/L. Aromas of crunchy red apple, strawberry and lemon lead into a finely beaded palate. Subtle brioche from lees contact and a clean, dry finish make it an excellent aperitif.

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.
