This is the third release, and the first, I believe, to use the older vines; all French oak. This is a colab with Formula One driver Valtteri Bottas, which sees him select the final blend. There's been a sleekness to the past two, very good, editions, while this feels a little more into earthen detail, with a greater sense of place rather than sheen. Those older vines, perhaps? Anyway, it's another excellent release. Black plum and cherry, blackberry compote, arabica coffee, bitter chocolate, soft licorice, some agreeable grain and grit to tannin, the fruit and savoury detail expanding over the prodigious length.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e– 95+ points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e McLaren Vale, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrina Wright \u0026amp; Valtteri Bottas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oliver's Taranga – 1948 Old Block and block 106 (1654 clone, planted 1992)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOak:\u003c\/strong\u003e All French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 750ml bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Full Bodied)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Oliver's Taranga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67721809658089,"sku":"IHANA-ED3-SHZ-2024-6PK_GRK","price":424.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/ihana-edition-3-6pk-1024.jpg?v=1792458999","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/olivers-taranga-x-valtteri-bottas-ihana-edition-3-shiraz-2024-6-pack-14-5-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
