The 2024 Oliver’s Taranga Small Batch Grenache is a vibrant and modern McLaren Vale Grenache that showcases freshness, spice and savoury complexity in a refined medium-bodied style. The nose is highly aromatic, revealing dried florals, forest berries, sour cherry and juniper layered with earthy spice, crushed rock and subtle Aperol-like citrus notes.
On the palate, it is silky and energetic with bright red fruit, supple savoury tannins and lively acidity balanced by hints of anise, cured meat and delicate florals. The finish is long, fresh and beautifully poised, delivering elegance and drinkability without heaviness. The style is contemporary and food-friendly, highlighting the purity and finesse of McLaren Vale Grenache.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant, lighter-bodied reds with vibrant fruit and savoury complexity. Perfect with wood-fired pizza, charcuterie, roast pork, lamb or Mediterranean dishes. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years for added savoury development and complexity.
