Brings some exotic, savoury charm to the glass with its preserved lemon, peach, stone fruits, almond skin and dusty herbals. The white grape, which traditionally calls Campania home, is known for its middle palate weight and breezy personality. These characteristics have travelled to McLaren Vale and are now firmly in place. Dry, brisk and lemony bright with a bitter almond skin dryness. This is off the first crop of Falanghina grown at Oliver’s Taranga. It looks to have a big future.
