This Tahbilk Coueslant sparkling delivers a diverse array of subtle peach, melon, red berry and savoury notes; wrapped in a cloak of crisp minerality and yeasty/biscuity characters from its secondary fermentation. A delicious aperitif style or pour over freshly shucked oysters for a wonderfully sublime taste experience.

Francois Coueslant was winemaker and manager at Tahbilk from 1877 to 1886, described in the 'Australasian' at the time as “a practical vigneron from France, but a gentleman of progressive ideas, ever ready to adopt new and improved methods of working.’ 

He is credited with adding ‘Chateau’ to Tahbilk; a moniker that held until the year 2000, and was responsible for the construction of the iconic Tower and led the fight against the vine louse phylloxera when it appeared on the Estate in 1870. It seemed entirely appropriate by Tahbilk that they recognise what has been an enduring influence with his naming on their premium sparkling wine releases.
