History

This is the exciting inaugural release of the RW Grenache, to partner our other super premium varietals, HJ Shiraz and DJ Cabernet. Known collectively as ‘The Greats’, these wines represent generations of family members who have been instrumental in the creation of the greatness at Olivers Taranga. The RW is named after our great-grandfather RW (Robert William) Oliver, city councillor, farmer and gifted sportsman, RW took the Taranga vineyard into the 20th century.

Aroma

So much life in this Grenache, red fruits, blossoming earth and spice, delicious soy notes.

Wine & Vintage

2020! What a year......for many reasons, and not many of them great. Except when it comes to wine, specially our Grenache. Pretty much a drought year, but our bush vine Grenache block really stood out and demanded that we make a new wine. Glory to the first vintage our RW Grenache!

Palate

Brambly forest floor, red berries, herbal spices and long coating tannins. An exemplary example of McLaren Vale Grenache.
