"Delicate flavours of apricots, mandarin, candied tropical fruits and honey"
The wine has a golden hue. When released in Nov 2011, this late harvest wine was showing delicate aromas of ripe stone fruits, honey and subtle hints of its Sauvignon Blanc parentage. Rich & viscous with a great acid balance which keeps this wine from being cloying. Delicate flavours of apricots, mandarin, candied tropical fruits and honey make this late harvest sweetie a perfect partner for poached pears and mascarpone. Luscious.......!
After exploring the globe's wine producing areas and working many consecutive vintages in Italy, Jules settled back into Marlborough helping to produce award winning wines for the likes of Kim Crawford, Saint Clair and Cape Campbell. Around this time she decided to start her own brand kicking off with a tiny production using the best Marlborough fruit she could get her hands on, and thank goodness for us she did! It's been ten years since the moonlighting project that launched Jules Taylor Wines began in the back of the Marlborough Valley Cellars. Since then the brand has collected a growing number of accolades as well as a sizable fan base throughout the world, a band of people that seek out the interesting and appealing. Her philosophy from the start has been to create wines that are eminently drinkable from first glass to last. Jules has stuck to that approach and continues to make small quantities of high quality, handcrafted wines from selected sites in Marlborough for all lovers of fine wine. Jules is passionate about the flavours, the consistent fruit quality found in Marlborough and creating unique wines from these grapes. Utilizing her intimate knowledge of the Marlborough region Jules has brought together a selection of vineyards where the grape variety, soil and micro climate all work in harmony to produce the unique flavours she seeks.
