ALCOHOL

Sourced from vines over 60 years old, Olivers Taranga's reserve shiraz is a powerful wine. Rich, dark fruit balanced against notes of dark chocolate and spice. Throw in some super silky tannins and you've got one seriously smooth McLaren Vale beauty.
HJ was a lover and a fighter. He fought to win the affections of his sweetheart Marjorie, before serving in WWII. He then fought to realise his vision of seeing the Taranga property produce only high quality grapes. This commenced with his planting of the ‘old blockâ€?Shiraz in 1948- the same McLaren Vale vines that form the base of this reserve Shiraz today.
AROMA
Violets, blackberry pie, mocha, spice and mineral notes.
PALATE
Savoury spice, mocha and plummy sweetness through the palate. Layers of flavour, the tannins are fine, silky and integrated perfectly. A wine with plenty of length and mouth-filling generosity.
WINE & VINTAGE
2019 was one of the hottest summers on record, and the dry season resulted in a 30% reduction in our crop. While there was no impact on quality, it means we just have a bit less to share with you this year!
HISTORY
This is the 18th release of our Langtons Classified HJ Shiraz. HJ is picked from the very best parcels of old vine Shiraz on the Taranga vineyardâ€?it has been barrel selected and bottle aged for optimum enjoyment. Named after our grandfather Herbert John ‘HJâ€?Oliver, we know he would be very proud of his namesake wine.
