Red Wine > Cabernet Sauvignon & Blends > Oliver’s ’Taranga Vineyards’ Vine Dried Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 - SOLD OUT
|
1839 was the year in which William and Elizabeth Oliver arrived from Scotland to settle at McLaren Vale. Six generations later, members of the family are still living on the Whitehill and Taranga farms, 2kms north of McLaren Vale. The Taranga property has 12 varieties plantedon 92ha; historically grapes from the property have been sold to up to 5 diffeent wineries, but since 1994 some of the old vine Shiraz has been made under the Oliver's Taranga label. From the 2000 vintage, the wine has been made by Corrina Rayment (the Oliver family's first winemaker and a sixth generation family member). James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2006
Corrina Rayment is the sixth generation of the Oliver family to work on the Taranga property. Grapes from this vineyard find their way into Penfolds Grange and Eileen Hardy Shiraz. No mean feat.
TASTING NOTES
Deep dark maroon in colour with super intense minty Cabernet characters. The palate with huge mouth coating tannins, along with huge dark fruits, spice and chocolate burst. Not a wine for the faint hearted.
