Oliver's Taranga Grenache McLaren Vale 2019

93 points Wine & Spirits: "Corrina Wright is the sixth-generation of her family to tend vines at the property William Oliver first planted in Seaview in the 1840s. The vines that produced this grenache date to 1965, planted in shallow red-brown loam over limestone. At first, this has the richness of garnacha from Rioja, the tannins dense with a beeswax character, calling for roast eggplant stuffed with lamb. Later, with a few hours of air, the fruit comes out—transparent earthy red berries—and the tannins have turned brisk, showing the underlying limestone edifice of the wine’s structure. A graceful grenache. (Feb 2021)"

With all the fragrances of a mushroom foraging tromp through the pine trees, this medium-bodied Grenache is full of spice, earth and forest berry aromas.
