Oliver's Taranga Vineyards
Oliver's Taranga Vineyards, nestled in the heart of McLaren Vale, South Australia, is a distinguished family-owned winery with a rich heritage spanning six generations. Established in 1841 by William and Elizabeth Oliver, the estate has flourished over 180 years, cultivating a profound connection to the land. The 100-hectare 'Taranga' property is meticulously divided into 50 distinct blocks, each managed individually to honor the unique characteristics of the variety and soil type. This dedication ensures that all wines are 100% estate-grown, with the oldest vines planted in 1948 by HJ Oliver. Oliver's Taranga is renowned for its small-batch, handcrafted wines that authentically express both varietal and vintage nuances. The vineyard's Shiraz grapes have garnered particular acclaim, consistently contributing to Australia's iconic Penfolds Grange—a testament to their exceptional quality. Beyond Shiraz, the winery has embraced alternative varieties such as Fiano and Mencia, reflecting a commitment to innovation and adaptability to McLaren Vale's Mediterranean climate. Visitors to the newly renovated cellar door can experience warm hospitality, engaging tastings, and insightful vineyard tours, all set against the picturesque backdrop of rolling vineyards and the nearby coastline. Oliver's Taranga Vineyards stands as a beacon of tradition and forward-thinking in the Australian wine landscape, offering wines that capture the essence of time and place.
