In South Australia, the best sites for growing wine grapes were originally sold off in eighty acre lots. Bill Taylor planted his first eighty acres of vine to some of the best Terra rossa soils within the Clare Valley circa 1969, naming his original block the Eighty Acres.
Taylors can draw on stocks of the finest fruit, having established some of the best Clare Valley vineyards. There are a myriad of aspects and soil types here which translate into well integrated yet complex wines. Parcels of Chardonnay are vinfied alongside a much smaller component of Viognier, all sourced from Taylor estate vineyards in the Clare Valley and a specialized grower in the Adelaide Hills. Grapes are picked throughout the cool of night to ensure delicate varietal flavours are retained. Berries are de-stemmed and gently pressed. Each parcel is separately tank fermented to varietal specific yeast strains. Parcels are assembled post fermentation and bottled after minimal filtration. Alcohol 13.5%

Taylors
Situated at the very heart of South Australia’s beautiful Clare Valley, Taylors has become one of Australia’s best loved and most trusted wineries

The tale of Taylors winemaking goes back a few years – three generations in fact, and all began with Bill Taylor Senior, and his love of a certain Bordeaux wine. Originally wine merchants in Sydney, a passion for wine was all part of being a Taylor, and in particular, for the famous French Clarets such as Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux’s Medoc region. It was this long held fascination for these wines which inspired the family’s foray into winemaking, and provides the inspiration and winemaking philosophy behind all Taylors winemaking today – to produce premium wines of exceptional and comparable quality in Australia.

Taylors

The winegrowing region known as the Clare Valley is situated 137 km due north of Adelaide. It was named by Irish settlers for its great beauty and its resemblance to the lovely green County Clare in Ireland. The valley incorporates four main river systems and stretches for 30 to 35 kilometres in width. There are five sub-regions within the valley, proceeding south from the northern end, Clare, Sevenhill, Watervale, Polish Hill River and Auburn.

In 1969, Bill Taylor Snr., along with his sons John and Bill, purchased a holding of 178 hectares by the Wakefield River in Auburn and planted Cabernet Sauvignon. The site was carefully chosen for the red brown loam over limestone soils (called terra rossa) and the cool climate of the Clare Valley, known to be excellent for Cabernet Sauvignon. That year they planted their very first Cabernet vines, and never looked back.

Wine lovers today know they can trust Taylors to deliver superb quality table wines year after year- the family spare no expense or effort to ensure just that. Indeed, Taylors took little time in proving that the dream wasn’t just pie in the sky – in 1973 they tentatively entered their inaugural vintage of Taylors Cabernet Sauvignon into the respected Royal Adelaide Wine Show – and were delighted to win the prestigious Montgomery Trophy for best red wine in the show!

The family always knew there was something in the soil. During the initial excavation of the vineyard dam, Bill and his sons were amazed to uncover the fossilised remains of tiny seahorses - confirmation that the area had in fact once been the bed of an ancient inland sea. The Taylors thought this to be a lucky omen and testimony that the terra rossa soils were indeed fertile, and with thoughts firmly fixed on the successful future of Taylors Wines, the family adopted the three seahorses as the company insignia. Today those seahorses are found on Taylors wine labels all over the world.

The Taylor family vineyard and winery is one of the first that visitors encounter as they enter the valley from Adelaide. Each sub-region has its own geographic and climate characteristics. Some of the vineyards are quite elevated - the Taylor family vineyard is located 350 metres above sea level, and although the general climate could be described as Mediterranean, each small area is subject to its own micro-climate. Many wines from the Clare Valley exhibit distinct cool climate characteristics and intense varietal fruit flavours. The site enjoys warm to hot days and cool evenings during the ripening period. Vintage usually takes place around March each year. The vines are grown in rich terra-rossa (brown loam over limestone) soils.

Winemakers have been attracted to the Clare Valley since as early as 1840. Today the soils and microclimates surrounding the Taylor Vineyards are considered the most exciting area for winegrowing. Producing the quality wines that Taylors are renowned for year after year is definitely a team effort. The high level of commitment to that quality starts at ground level from the vine and flows all the way through to the end result, Taylors Wines.
