The Banished - Australian fortified grenache
Collector set of The Banished from Oliver Taranga Vineyards. This is very smooth Australian fortified grenache.
History
Since 1841, William Oliver and his descendants have grown premium wine grapes on their McLaren Vale ?Taranga? property. However, three brothers from the second generation avoided the trials of family farming, preferring to live the ?good life? of drinking, smoking and gambling! Needless to say, they were banished from the family property, but we salute their carefree attitude with this fortified Grenache. Having patiently aged this fortified Grenache for 20 years in a solera of ancient Cognac barrels, we are proud to finally see our customers enjoying this classic Australian fortified wine.
Aroma
Creamy vanillan, caramel, stewed fruits, brandy soaked apricots and sweet alcohol make up the pungent aroma.
Palate
This is a powerful fortified Grenache, the sweet fruit is balanced by a fresh acidity. This fortified is extremely viscous, and the brandy soaked dried apricot character follows through on the palate. The Banished warms you up from the inside!
