Brown Brothers Tarrango

...be revealed ........ About Brown Brothers? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brown Brothers was founded by a John Francis Brown, in Australia, who initially had no experience in winemaking. John Francis was very ambitious and after successfully managing his first 10 acres of vineyard in the late 1800s was keen to plant more. There was a theory that the future of exporting wine was unlimited so in 1890 the Austrailian Government offered £2 an acre to anyone ...
...wine. He called the vineyard Brown Brothers hoping that his brothers Austin, George and Charles would join him, but they never did. The vineyards still flourish today (after something of a chequered history) and one of the wines in their current range is the Brown Brothers Tarrango wine which I am writing about in this review. Brown Brothers Tarrango red wine ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first thing I noticed as I poured this wine was that ...

Review of Brown Brothers Tarrango

...spoils! The Firm Brown Brothers is probably one of the oldest, family run firms in Australia. It was founded in 1889 as the result of the vision of John Francis Brown whose father, a Scottish immigrant, purchased part of the land which the vineyards now occupy in 1857. The first vines were planted on a ten acre plot in 1885 and the first customers, local Italian tobacco workers. The operation, based in the Victoria area of southeast Australia, ...
...and fourth generation of the Brown family. The company’s five vineyards cover over 1,100 acres and, within the 30 miles radius they occupy, there is an extraordinary range of climatic conditions from hot sunny plains to temperate valleys and cool alpine areas. Each vineyard produces grapes which have been specially chosed according to the climatic conditions, some 80 varieties at the last count. This ensures that Brown Brothers can offer a vast array ...

Review of Brown Brothers Tarrango

...really like the wines That Brown Brothers Produce.They are usually priced at a fiver and up .I bought this when it was on offer at my local Booths Supermarket when it was reduced by 2 Quid. It is an easy drinking type red without any harsh tannin flavours and it is a red I would recommend to someone who doesn't usually drink/like red wine yes it is that easy to drink. It is a Pale red colour and has a fresh cherry type taste although it is 12.5% ...
...glugged. Although I am no wine expert it seems like it would be best served within 2 years and does'nt seem like the type of wine to store to age This wine will go with any food that is not too overpowering like Beef stews that are nrmally recommended for red wines, toi me this is the red wine that books the trend of reds and is more like a white in it's versatility. Best Chilled available from Tescos and Booths ...

Review of Brown Brothers Tarrango

I think suesie and laramax have probably pretty much covered a lot of the factual stuff about this wine, with an impressive amount of research into the bargain! I just wanted to include my views on this wine, especially as it is a little bit special to me, being one of my late grandad's favourite wines. I first came across this wine because of a little challenge presented to me by a friend - to find her a red wine to drink that didn't cause her to ...
...wines from the New World are less likely to have chemical residues in them, due to a lesser need to treat them with pesticides etc due to the climate (very compliated, but that in a nutshell), plus you need a grape variety with very little tannin - the stuff that gives red wine its body and colour. Hence the Tarrango! This would also sit very nicely in the wine repertoire of a Beaujolais fan. Yes, it is recommended that this wine is slightly chilled ...

Review of Brown Brothers Tarrango

Brown Brothers 'Tarrango' is one of my favourite red wines. It is an exceptionally light and drinkable wine (so no need for food- quaff it on its own!) and it really is delicious when lightly chilled, which I do like in a red. Chilling a red wine often suppresses all the different flavours and undertones but chilling Tarrango seems to bring out its fruitiness. Tarrango has a soft, light taste without the heaviness of, say, a Merlot or a Cabernet ...
