The accolades just keep rolling in for Taylors
You can see why this has one of the most impressive wine show records in Australia – not least the previous vintage taking out BEST SHIRAZ IN AUSTRALIA in the 2015 Visy Shiraz Challenge. It is elegant with pristine fruit intensity and superb balance. Aromas and flavours of blackberry, plum, vanilla pod and liquorice abound. Simply delicious. The tannins silky and flavour very very long. And now with the VINUS International Wine and Spirits Competition 2022 top prize… what are you waiting for?
At release, this Shiraz is a dark red colour with ruby red hues. On the nose the wine displays dark plum, redcurrant and red cherry fruits along with subtle chocolate and a touch of oak derived spice. The palate is plump & generous with ripe fruit characters of plum, cherry and redcurrant. Mocha coffee and subtle aniseed characters are also present along with vanillan oak to balance the fruit flavours. The wine is medium-bodied with a soft mid-palate & pleasing tannin structure. It is a well balanced wine with great texture, good length and enjoyable fruit flavours on the finish. The wine was matured in American oak for 12 months followed by fining, minimal filtration & bottling. Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions.
