Taylors Taylor Made Pinot Noir (750mL)

Winemakers Comments

This Pinot Noir is both delicate in nature and also generous in flavour with fresh cherry and rhubarb characters supported by smooth and silky tannins.

This wine has dark cherry and tart rhubarb characters along with subtle dried herbs. The tannins display red apple skin like characters on the palate. The extremely gentle fruit handling has resulted in a wine that is both delicate in nature and also generous in flavour. A well-defined acid profile provides structure whilst the silky tannins provide beautiful texture. The high quality French oak holds court to the finish, which is lingering and extremely moreish.

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.
