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."
It was this adoption of ‘progressive’ ideas that led to what has been described as Tahbilk’s first “Golden Age”.
It seemed entirely appropriate then that we recognise what has been an enduring influence at Tahbilk with his naming of our premium sparkling releases.
Enjoy Now and to 2025/2027
Produced in limited volumes and reflective of its Estate Shiraz sourcing, this latest Coueslant release is generously flavoured with aromas of pepper, spice and leather on a rich palate of mulberry, dark berry and plum fruits with extended time on yeast lees adding further layers of complexity.
