Tasting Notes
90 points from Wine Spectator! Aromas leap from the glass in a burst of passionfruit, grapefruit and white-fleshed nectarine, with whispers too of nettle and jalapeño pepper. The high-spirited, alive palate shows clear citrus and lemongrass notes, with lovable texture and a firm backbone of juicy acidity.
Producer
After years of winemaking and vintage experience worldwide and at various Marlborough cellars, Zoology graduate Jules Taylor (who was born the year the first vines were planted in Marlborough) launched her eponymous label with 200 cases in 2001.
Jules completed a postgraduate course in winemaking / viticulture at Lincoln before working a number of vintages in Piedmont, Sicily, Australia and Cloudy Bay. After taking a permanent job at Marlborough Valley Cellars, she was mentored by Kiwi wine industry veterans Kim Crawford, Simon Waghorn and Matt Thompson who encouraged her to launch her own label, which she did in 2001.
Five years, two children and a few thousand cases later, Jules Taylor Wines was officially established and is now an internationally-recognised wine brand with multiple awards and worldwide fans.
