Taylors Taylor Made Shiraz (750mL)

Winemakers Comments

This wine displays rich, berry-laden, dark chocolate characters underpinned by a hint of sweet leather. This is an elegant wine with juicy flavours of red plum, blackberry and then more subtle spice. The palate is refined and elegant with the oak maturation bringing depth and length to the palate. The wine is very well balanced with a fine line of tannin, well integrated oak and the finish is persistent and imminently enjoyable.

About the Winery

The Taylor family's long-standing association with the Clare Valley begins in the late 1950s when as Sydney wine merchants, they partnered with the Clare Valley Co-operative to bottle and distribute their own wines under the Chateau Clare label.

Then, inspired by the great producers of Bordeaux, and with a vision to craft wines that rival the best in the world, the Taylor family begin an exploration to find the perfect plot of land on which to establish their family estate. On July 20, 1969, their quest brought them to a site by the Wakefield River in South Australia's Clare Valley. So on the same day that Neil Armstrong takes man's first steps onto the moon, Bill Taylor takes his first steps on the soil that will eventually become the family estate.
