Tasting Notes

Appearance
Pale straw.

Aroma
Pear skin, lemon pith, elderflower, white pepper, slight salt spray. Baked brie with olive oil and cut herbs.

Creamy and pithy all at once. Golden delicious, juicy peach, preserved lemon, textural purity and length. Juicy varietal finish, fresh and zesty, with oodles of generosity.

Winemakers comments
We were very thrilled to receive a trophy for our 2024 Oliver’s Taranga Fiano at the McLaren Vale Wine Show. The McLaren Vale Wine show is an institution in our region, that culminates in a massive wine community lunch known locally as ‘The Bushing Festival’. This celebration has been going for more than 50 years, and at this event the wine show trophy winners are announced. Much singing and eating and chatting happens throughout the lunch, until the final, and most sought after, trophy is announced - The Bushing King or Queen is crowned. Awarded to the best wine of the McLaren Vale wine show each year, the winner gets to adorn robes and crown, and be adored by the region! While we didn’t win the big award (in fact a white wine has only won once in the more than 50 year history!), we were thrilled to have our Fiano recognised, and shall continue celebrating well into 2025!

Vinification
Fiano is a relatively new variety to Australia, and originates from the Campania region of Italy. Fiano is super heat and drought tolerant, being able to maintain acidity in the grapes even in our hot South Australian summers. This minimal intervention Fiano is made with indigenous yeast and includes portions fermented in concrete eggs and large format French oak.

Grape variety
100% Fiano

Oliver's Taranga
Six generations of stubborn, competitive growers and one equally spirited winemaker – that’s the Oliver family. Living smack bang in the middle of McLaren Vale, the family flourish on producing perfect parcels of fruit on their 100 hectare ‘Taranga’ property. Their collection of small batch, handcrafted, Oliver’s Taranga wines speak of both the variety and vintage, capturing a time and place, while continuing to document the family’s ongoing 185 year relationship with the land.
