Oliver’s Taranga Falanghina 2024

A Campania queen, it’s exciting to see this in the hands of Corrina Wright who has managed to capture a true to form Falanghina with mock orange blooms, peach fuzz and lemon skin. There is crystallized honey, bronze fennel and a gentle ease to the wine’s flow. Its zesty but idles across the palate. A touch of chamomile tea texture on the finish. Bone dry with lingering notes of almond praline and a touch of beeswax oiliness. Falanghina’s ability to maintain acidity and McLaren’s abundant sunshine means this should work very well in the region. An ideal wine on a table with diamond shell clams in ginger butter. And let’s face it once you know how to say it, it’s fun to pronounce.
