The 2025 Oliver's Taranga Small Batch Grenache is a vibrant McLaren Vale Grenache crafted by the sixth-generation Oliver family from selected estate vineyard parcels. Produced in small batches to highlight the best-performing fruit of the vintage, it showcases the variety's bright aromatics and elegant structure. The nose reveals lifted aromas of raspberry, red cherry and plum, layered with rose petals, juniper, orange peel and subtle baking spice. The warm, dry 2025 season delivered fruit with excellent concentration and freshness.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins and lively natural acidity. Juicy red berry and cherry flavours are complemented by gentle spice, fine minerality and a touch of savoury complexity, leading to a smooth, persistent finish. Careful small-batch winemaking preserves the purity of the fruit while delivering balance and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent McLaren Vale Grenache for those who enjoy vibrant, fruit-driven reds with elegance and freshness. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years. Pair with roast duck, grilled lamb cutlets, mushroom risotto, chargrilled vegetables or a selection of charcuterie and semi-hard cheeses.
