An immensely satisfying Pinot Noir in terms of quality, with a well rounded palate and distinctive varietal expression. The natural advantage afforded by the Adelaide Hills is the altitude, which provides cooler growing conditions throughout summer, a greater day/night temperature differential for acid retention in the grapes and a fully focused, intensity of fruit. It should be noted that the Yarra Valley parcel was entirely processed in the Yarra Valley due to phylloxera restrictions, under the watchful eye of the Taylor winemaking team.
The Adelaide Hills component was harvested during the cool of the night, de-stemmed and chilled. During fermentation, the juice and skins were gently turned over four times per day. Yarra Valley grapes were harvested during the cool, early hours of the morning. A small percentage was whole berry pressed and the remainder was de-stemmed and crushed. The must was transferred to open fermenters and vinified at even, warm temperatures. The juice and skins were plunged daily. Post fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to Taylors for malolactic fermentation. Each parcel was aged in a combination of new, one and two year old French oak barrels for eleven months before a minimal filtration. Alcohol 13.8%
TASTING NOTES
A deep cherry colour with purple/ red hues. A nose of intense fruit focused aromas of red cherry, raspberry and rosehip along with subtle spice. Jaraman will develop more complex, savoury characters as it ages. A medium bodied Pinot Noir with a supple yet rich palate. The ripe cherry characters of the Adelaide Hills marry beautifully with the red berry fruit flavours and more earthy characters of the Yarra Valley. Silky tannins grace the mid-palate, fine French oak adds complexity to the finish.

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.
