Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes > Wines > Taylors Estate Range
In 1973, the first estate grown and bottled range of wines released under the Taylors name, and the Taylors Estate Cabernet Sauvignon burst out of the starting blocks, winning gold medals at every national wine show. This proved to be a good omen - a reputation was forged then and continues today with the wine winning medals at national and international shows every year since. The range now includes Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and most recently, a Pinot Gris.
This wine, crafted in the French style of the varietal, has an elegant palate with regional varietal definition of pear and spicy baked apple. There is great balance to the palate, which is light in weight and finishes on a pleasing soft and gentle note. Try it with walnut and goats cheese tart, light seafood dishes or even tomato and feta salad. |
The wine is medium bodied with flavours of juicy red cherries. Delicate spice characters are evident throughout the palate while subtle oak characters of cinnamon, clove and cedar add to the overall complexity of the wine. The wine finishes with lingering fruit flavours. Try it with Duck pate and green salad or even Camembert and brie with fig paste. |
This wine has a fresh and zippy palate with regional varietal flavours of passionfruit, guava and ruby grapefruit. Overall, the wine fills the mouth with flavour and a cleansing acidity. The finish has a hint of lychee character and leaves the mouth fresh and revived leaving you ready for the next sip. |
The wine demonstrates the hallmark Cabernet Sauvignon characters of ripe berry fruit, cassis, cinnamon, spice and tobacco. The wine is rich and mouth filling and has a complete, well balanced structure and great length. Roast leg of lamb with mint sauce and roast vegetables or even a cheese platter with dried fruits and nuts. |
The wine is luscious and mouth filling. It has sweetish fruit flavours of peach, nectarine and citrus through and a creamy texture derived from the extended lees stirring post fermentation. Try it with walnut and goats cheese tart, light seafood dishes or even tomato and feta salad. |
