T’Gallant launches trio of vibrant sparkling wines

The warm weather has arrived, and with it, comes the launch of a lively new tier of Australian sparkling wines from T’Gallant. T’Gallant Chardonnay Pinot Noir, Prosecco and Pink Moscato – all growing varietals in Australia - are now available from Treasury Wine Estates, made in the approachable, fresh and vibrant style that T’Gallant is known for. The arrival comes with a fresh look-and-feel and positioning for T’Gallant, which will gradually roll out across the portfolio, taking cues from T’Gallant’s pioneering and free-spirited origins. In the 1990s, T’Gallant founders went against advice to introduce and champion Pinot Gris and Grigio in Australia after having fallen in love with the variety in Europe. Today Pinot Gris/Grigio is the fastest growing white wine varietal in Australia , and T’Gallant has continued a tradition of producing fresh, food-friendly Australian wines with lively personalities ever since. T’Gallant Marketing Manager Marc Heine said that the T’Gallant trio takes advantage of the growth in sparkling wine in the $15-$20 bracket in Australia and the great opportunity that lies with millennial females in this space. “Many of the sparkling wine purchases made by these consumers are around $10 and the T’Gallant trio entices them to premiumise,” he said. “Our new Prosecco, Chardonnay Pinot Noir and Pink Moscato wines are presented in sophisticated, curve shaped bottles with pops of bright, bold colours that have strong stand-out on shelf. And while great packaging is advantageous, it must be supported by quality wine to encourage repeat purchases, and so far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” Heine said.

Prosecco sales in Australia are currently surging, and have grown 48% in the past year . The T’Gallant Prosecco is fresh and dry with aromas of citrus, apple and pear leading to a bright and zesty finish. Vibrant with a delicate sparkling bead, this sparkling wine makes a great aperitif or complement to antipasto, cured meats, subtle cheeses and seafood. Also dry but with a creamier texture, T’Gallant Chardonnay Pinot Noir exudes citrus and white peach aromas, citrus flavours with a hint of bread dough. It is a classic sparkling wine blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that makes a great aperitif or complement to light salads, canapes and seafood such as oysters and sashimi. For those who enjoy something fruitier, T’Gallant Pink Moscato is a traditional style of Moscato that is fragrant, sweet and fully spritzed. Natural fruit sweetness and beautiful aromatics are lifted by a gentle sparkling bead in a wine that pairs beautifully with sweeter dishes and even spicy Asian food. All three T’Gallant sparkling wines are available now for orders from Treasury Wine Estates at RRP $19.99. Contact your local representative on 134 893 for more information
