About The Wine
The Olivers Taranga Sagrantino, with a few years in bottle now, presents a delightful range of aromas and flavours, with some exotic spice to liven things up a bit.
The wine offers a medley of savoury and fruity tones, such as violets, christmas cake, slate, mulberry and blackberry, with bottle age now taking the wine towards the realm of dried fruits and smokey, peppery notes. The tannins have integrated well and are now soft and supple.
Sagrantino is a grape predominantly found in the Italian region of Umbria, although many winemakers around the world (and particularly in Australia) are catching on to its potential to make lovely wines.
About Oliver's Taranga
Five generations of the Oliver family have been farming land in McLaren Vale dating back to the 1840s.
There are now 100 hectares of land under vine on the Taranaga property - Taranga is a corruption of the aboriginal word Tarangk, meaning ‘the middle' which was used by the Kaurna, a local aboriginal tribe.
Under the trailblazing guidance of winemaker Corrina Wright, there are now near 50 blocks of different varieties and clones. A McLaren Vale melting pot!

From the Producer
While we have had a long love affair with McLaren Vale’s well known varieties, we also work with some more emerging grapes. On our vineyard you will find Mataro, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Vermentino, Fiano, Tempranillo, Mencia, Touriga, Sagrantino, and White Frontignac. While we only make wines from grapes grown exclusively on our Taranga vineyard, we also sell our premium grapes to a number of other wineries like d’Arenberg, Penfolds, Wirra Wirra and Seppeltsfield each year.

Critic Reviews
"A blend of 10 estate blocks up to 70 years old (multiple soils, clones and vines), some with extended maceration, matured for 17 months in French (70%) and American oak hogsheads, 20% new. A grind of pepper on top of generous, creamy blackberry and mulberry fruit, with mocha notes and a savoury frame of ripe but present, textural, earthy tannins. Satisfying and good value. Drinking Window 2020 - 2030." Sarah Ahmed (Decanter Magazine)

Do I have to order in dozens? No, please mix it up! You can order wines in any quantity and variation you like. You can order 1 bottle or 50. We challenge you to make the ultimate mixed pack of wine!
Are there volume discounts? No, our pricing is designed to be the best in market already - no marking up and then discounting down! For very large orders (weddings, etc) we are open to negotiating though. Just give us a call.
Do we price match? Yes, within reason. Everyday low & consistent pricing is something we strongly believe in. We want our customers to feel confident they are always getting the best price. If you see a price lower somewhere else let us know and we'll consider matching it. We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
