History

With 100 ha of premium grapevines on the Taranga property, the Oliver family has over 50 blocks representing different grape varieties, clones, soil types & vine ages.

Aroma

Dried florals, ripe forest berries, juniper, red berries and an aperol note. Crushed rocks and earthy spice.

Palate

Medium bodied, red apple tang, bright fruit with sour cherry elements. Lovely savoury supple tannins, anise and cured meat notes. Florals follow through the palate with plenty of youthful length and verve.

Wine & Vintage

The 2024 harvest started with a wet & cool spring, leading into a dry and consistently warm growing season. In these conditions Grenache comes to the fore, revelling in the drier ripening conditions. Another excellent year for Grenache from McLaren Vale, which seems to be in a purple patch at the moment - darling of the consumer, winemaker and viticulturists!

The Year That Continued

We crushed our first vintage at Oliver & Press Winemakers. The final piece of the Oliver's Taranga puzzle was put into place in 2024. 180+ years of grapegrowing, 18 years of our cellar door being open, 30 years of winemaking, but we had never owned our own winery. After many years of Corrina contract processing our wines at a local winery, an opportunity came up to buy the site. After putting on our big girl pants, we made the leap to purchase it in collaboration with Bob & Yuko Harris, the owners of Mike Press Wines. Oliver & Press Winemakers was born. The site is much larger than Oliver's Taranga needs, hence we offer contract processor for many incredible local and interstate wine brands and have a brilliant cellar team looking after them all.
