Tasting Notes

Aroma

Lemon Thyme, ruby grapefruit, nashi pear, fresh beeswax, pine nuts and mediterranean garden herbs.

Appearance

Pale straw.

Palate

Silky and textural from the first sip, with lemon curd, pear tart and roasted cashew giving way to a mouth-watering saline finish. Bright natural acidity keeps everything fresh.

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.

Food Matching

Long, chalky and moreish, it’s made for seafood, spicy food and going back for another glass.

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 the future.

Region Notes

With 100 ha of premium grapevines on the Taranga property, the Oliver family has over 50 blocks representing different grape varieties, clones, soil types & vine ages.

    Pear and juicy peach with preserved lemon, elderflower, almond and sea spray. The palate is rounded and textural with lively acidity and a pithy citrus finish. Generous and fresh with good varietal character. Points: 93/100

    Very pale lemon-yellow hue, with a wonderful bouquet of grapefruit, yellow flowers, and ground turmeric. The palate shows citrus and stone fruits, with yellow spices and a wattle aromatic lift along the line. Good length, with a nice creaminess to the texture, but ample acidity to keep it from sitting too fat. It glides with style and grace into a long finish. Points: 93/100

    From five estate blocks, fermented 80% in steel, with 20% split between larger format oak and concrete eggs. Cool, native ferment, with 10% mlf. Vintage '26 is looking to be a fine white vintage. Expressive in its range of lemon pith, grapefruit, makrut lime and beachy scents, with hints of mint and holy basil. It has a mineral side, too, with a subtle ground-stone quality, a rock skipped over sun-kissed waves. OK, a bit much, but I’m going with it. The tension is finely tuned between acidity and pith, the feel seamless at this early juncture, the length sustained. Points: 95/100
