Olivers Taranga Chica Mencia Rose 2024
In their words - Turkish delight, red jube lollies, orange & watermelon rind, hibiscus flower & a touch of fairy floss! Prosciutto wrapped rockmelon, honey dew, watermelon margarita - all the melons! Generously textured, strawberry jam richness and a mouth-watering dry crisp finish.
Mencia is a native variety of Spain, in particular the Bierzo region in the northwest of the country. Oliver’s Taranga are the first to plant it in Australia. We decided to get our (mostly female) cellar door team on board to learn about the winemaking process – and as such the ‘Chica’ was born!
Critics thoughts - Rosé is often scrutinised by its colour, and this ticks that box emphatically – rose gold and of shimmering clarity. From there everything follows suit, replete with classic refreshment across notes of watermelon, cool tamarillo, mandarin peel, sumac and ground cinnamon. There’s glide to the texture and a pleasing lightness overall, with acidity sitting neatly within the wine, everything serenely in place. 96 points Marcus Ellis Halliday Wine Companion
