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.
