The zenith in Clare Valley Chardonnay, St Andrews are a true labour of love for the Taylor family, sourced from an historical property adjacent to the estate wineworks. St Andrews continue to attract an impressive array of international awards and recognition for their outstanding quality. Parcels of French Bernard clone Chardonnay are selectively hand picked off the distinguished Angela block G30 and Victoria block V20, carefully sorted and gently pressed into the extravagance of new Louis Latour French oak for an opulent barrel ferment and course of age.
The aim is to craft a wine of delicacy and finesse, grapes are harvested throughout the cool of night, gently whole berry pressed and chilled to eight degrees C. The entire process with fifteen minutes of harvest to capture and preserve the excellence of fruit in the vineyard. Juices are cold settled and transferred to a selection of 80% new, tight grained French oak barriques by artisanal Burgundy coopers Louis Latour, for inoculation to Cepage Chardonnay yeasts. Upon completion, batches are treated to nine weeks of lees stirring battonage and ten months maturation, followed by minimal fining and filtration.
TASTING NOTES
Youthful pale straw hues. Ripe stone fruit aromas along with hints of tropical fruit and subtle citrus zest, enticing sweet spice and savoury cashew of French oak. Medium bodied yet sumptuous wine with an enjoyable creaminess to the mid-palate, flavours of juicy white fleshed stone fruit, cleansing citrus at the finish, wonderful persistence and length.

More About Taylors Wines
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.
