A new variety to Australia, it's packed with violet florals, cherry syrup and a bright punchy savoury palate. Whip up some Paella and settle in for a long lunch with this spanish beauty.

WINE & VINTAGE: From its traditional home in Spain this variety is new to Australia and it’s packed with flavour. Made in the ‘Joven’ style- meaning that it has limited oak and is fresh and slurpy and ready to drink. Whip up some Paella and settle in for a long lunch (and a lifelong love affair) with this Spanish beauty. 2022 gave us a long slow ripening period, perfect for flavour development.

HISTORY: With 300 acres of premium grapevines on the Taranga property, the Oliver family has over 50 blocks representing different grape varieties, clones, soil types & vine ages. Each vintage, different varieties & blocks will show their strength and from this has been born the ‘SMALL BATCH’ range. These wines have been handcrafted to speak of both the variety and the vintage in which they have been produced.

WINE MAKER: Corrina Wright, 6th Generation

"It’s a dry, almost sinewy style but the fruit itself feels inky and substantial. This is an interesting wine. Dried herbs, smoked meats, saltbush and kirsch characters burst towards a ropey/stringy/dry finish. Tannin and acid here seem entwined; gene-like. It feels different as much for its structure and mouthfeel as for its flavour." Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Alc/Vol: 14.0%
