In 1839 William and Elizabeth Oliver travelled to South Australia from Scotland and settled at McLaren Vale in 1841 on land which they named “Taranga”, meaning “middle” in the language of the local Kaurna tribe. Today the fifth- and sixth-generation descendants of the Oliver family produce ultra-premium age-worthy wines that reflect the unique character of the Taranga Vineyard, combining  the latest winemaking tools and techniques with the sense of family, history and tradition that comes with over 170 years of local knowledge.

Oliver’s Taranga is home to the ultra-premium HJ Reserve Shiraz and has supplied grapes to Penfolds for the illustrious Grange, arguably the pinnacle of achievement for Shiraz growers in Australia.
