Black pastilles, violets and lilacs, cherries and blueberries. A savoury herb edge.

Medium bodied on the palate, but finished with mouthcoating tannins. There is a real plushness to the palate, flavourful and full of floral and cherry fruit elements. Fruit, oak and tannin all knit together seamlessly with immaculate balance.

From its traditional home in Spain this variety is new to Australia and it’s packed with flavour. Made in the ‘Joven’ style- meaning that it has limited oak and is fresh and slurpy and ready to drink. Whip up some Paella and settle in for a long lunch (and a lifelong love affair) with this Spanish beauty. 2022 gave us a long slow ripening period, perfect for flavour development.

With 300 acres of premium grapevines on the Taranga property, the Oliver family has over 50 blocks representing different grape varieties, clones, soil types & vine ages. Each vintage, different varieties & blocks will show their strength and from this has been born the ‘SMALL BATCH’ range. These wines have been handcrafted to speak of both the variety and the vintage in which they have been produced.
