Aroma Notes-

Oliverhill Winery Shiraz Jimmy Section McLaren Vale. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes fresh blackberry, boysenberry, potpourri and incense, along with exotic Moroccan spice qualities that gain power as the wine opens up. Densely packed but lively as well, offering sappy black and blue fruit liqueur and spice cake flavours and suggestions of cola and mocha. The floral and spice notes repeat strongly on the impressively long, sweet finish, along with resonating spiciness, a touch of violet pastille and very soft tannins.

Oliverhill McLaren Vale

Oliverhill McLaren Vale. We are located just north of the township of McLaren Vale, an area known as the 'Seaview' sub-region of McLaren Vale.

Stuart Miller is the winemaker and caretaker of the vineyard: this is truly a hands-on winery where every step of production from vineyard to bottling is overseen by Stuart himself. His family are involved in all stages of the process, picking grapes, pruning vines, bottling, packaging and more.

Oliverhill was established in the early 1970s and the Miller family moved in during the early 1990s.

The Region

McLaren Vale

Overall, the climate is Mediterranean, with fresh sea breezes helping to moderate temperatures during the growing season. Chilly winds from the hills also cool the grapes on specific vineyard sites, helping to retain acidity and structure. The summers and most of the autumn season are dry, which keeps vine diseases at bay. McLaren Vale vineyards also boast a wide range of soil types, with localized specialties.

The region acquired its GI (Geographical Indication) status in 1997, but wine-growing traditions here are amongst the oldest in the country. Pioneers such as Thomas Hardy and John Reynella, both iconic names in the Australian wine industry, can be credited with this achievement, having realized the region's potential in the early 19th Century when the first vines were planted.

The proximity of McLaren Vale to the city of Adelaide provides plenty of custom for local wine producers' cellar door operations.
