History

History

IHANA - Finnish for wonderful or fantastic - a word Valtteri reserves for the truly exceptional. The collaboration of Valtteri Bottas x Oliver’s Taranga is just that - a celebration of competitive craftsmanship. The stubborn pursuit of excellence is a common thread for Valtteri Bottas and sixth generation grape grower Corrina Wright. And a wine made by two such driven perfectionists was only ever going to be ‘Ihana’, the very word uttered on Valtteri’s first taste. Finding a second home in South Australia, Valtteri’s love for exploring our landscapes and wine regions has led to an inevitable conclusion; the wines of these rolling McLaren Vale vineyards are amongst the very best in the world.

2022 was another cracking vintage in McLaren Vale. A long, cool ripening period and no heatwaves meant that we had plenty of opportunity to ripen the Shiraz perfectly.

Palate

Stewed figs and berry compote, rum and raisin, more dusty chocolate and sour cherry on the palate. Charry delicious tannin.

Only 5,000 bottles are made of this stunning McLaren Vale Shiraz given the Finnish name ‘Ihana’, which translates as wonderful. For someone who loves Finland, I could not be more excited – even more so as it is such a thrilling wine. Opaque maroon, this is intense, well balanced and showing some very early complexity. Florals, chocolate, leather, tar, cloves, dry herbs and mocha notes. A richly flavoured, generous and supple McLaren Vale Shiraz with good extraction, impressive intensity and incredible length. And yet, perhaps a little surprisingly, the wine still has elegance. For me, this just might be the best wine Corrina and her team have made. It would certainly be a contender. Fifteen to twenty years. 97 points
