Oliver’s Taranga – Vermentino
Oliver’s Taranga is a family-run estate dating back to 1841, with vines planted soon after. Now in the hands of the sixth generation, the Oliver family are recognised as leading sustainably certified growers in McLaren Vale, with fruit sought after by top producers including Penfolds for Grange.
Under the guidance of winemaker Corrina Wright, the estate’s fruit is now showcased through the Oliver’s Taranga range. Corrina has quickly built a reputation for producing ultra-premium, age-worthy wines, while also playing a leading role in the “Women in Wine” movement.
Traditionally known for its premium red wines, the estate is now embracing Mediterranean varieties—well suited to the climate and soils of McLaren Vale—and increasingly defining the region’s future direction. Throughout this evolution, the focus remains firmly on expressing the unique character of the Taranga Vineyard.
The Vermentino is a perfect example: fresh, vibrant and textural, capturing both the site and the estate’s progressive approach to winemaking.
Olivers Taranga
Oliver's Taranga is one of McLaren Vale's most storied family properties, settled in 1841 with vines following shortly after. Now in the hands of sixth-generation family members, the Olivers are regarded as one of the region's leading sustainably certified growers — a reputation so well-founded that they are among the select few chosen to supply fruit for Penfolds Grange Shiraz.
At the helm of the winery is the effervescent Corrina Wright, whose talent and ambition have taken Oliver's Taranga to new heights. Corrina is rapidly building a reputation for producing ultra-premium, age-worthy wines that do full justice to the exceptional fruit the family grows. She is also earning well-deserved recognition for her prominent role in the Women in Wine movement.
Oliver's Taranga has long been defined by its premium red varieties, and the rich, structured wines they produce. But Corrina and the family are now embracing an exciting new chapter — the development of Mediterranean varieties that are proving beautifully suited to McLaren Vale's climate and soils. Far from a departure, these varieties are becoming a defining expression of the region itself, and Corrina's commitment remains the same: that every wine, old variety or new, reflects the unique and irreplaceable character of the Taranga Vineyard."
