Oliver's Taranga 'Small Batch' Grenache 2021

Six generations of stubborn, competitive growers and one equally spirited winemaker- that’s the Oliver family. Living smack bang in the middle of McLaren Vale, they flourish on producing perfect parcels of fruit on their 100 hectare ‘Taranga’ property. The vineyard doesnt just supply wine grapes to Oliver’s Taranga, but many other premium wine producers in the McLaren Vale region and beyond. Don and Corrina are both proud members of the Penfolds Grange Growers club, with certain blocks of their Shiraz contributing to Australia’s iconic wine, Penfolds Grange- some of the few that can lay this claim outside of the Barossa Valley. 

"Machine-harvested, destemmed and berry-sorted, one fermenter pressed at 1 degrees baume to barrel for mlf, the other left in the vat for 4 months post-ferment with richer tannin, the former with florals on the bouquet. It is surprising that the tannins needed assistance, but the result speaks for itself with very spicy/bramble flavours and good structure." James Halliday.  Halliday Wine Companion

"There's so much excitement about McLaren Vale grenache you can expect to enjoy every offering – and you won't be disappointed here. Winemaker Corrina Wright (nee Oliver) fills the senses with red fruits, yet does so with a light touch, leaving the mouth fresh."  95 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2022 James Halliday
