Taylors Taylor Made Pinot Gris (750mL)

Winemakers Comments

Crafted from Adelaide Hills fruit and certified Vegan friendly. At release, the wine has a pale straw colour with a subtle bronze tinge to the edge. The wine displays lifted pear characters with hints of fresh apple along with subtle floral and spice notes. This is an enticing wine with green apple, ripe pear and plush nectarine fruit characters combining with a satisfying hint of spice. The wine has a supple texture courtesy of the oak barrel fermentation yet the finish remains crisp, dry and refreshing. Whilst the wine was fermented in 3 and 4 year old French (Burgundian) oak barriques, it was not further matured in barrel. Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a short term under ideal conditions.

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.
