Jules Taylor Winery was founded in 2001 by winemaker Jules Taylor, a dynamic figure in New Zealand who grew up in Marlborough and worked at top wineries such as Cloudy Bay. After gaining international experience in Piedmont, Sicily, and Australia, she decided to create her own winery, aiming to express the authenticity of Marlborough through terroir-driven wines. The winery is family-owned, with Jules Taylor leading production. They grow and vinify mainly Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Grüner Veltliner, using grapes from selected vineyards in the Wairau, Awatere, and Southern Valleys.
Pinot Noir 2021 Jules Taylor comes from selected plots in the Southern Valleys, where soils are rich in clay and limestone. The grapes were hand-harvested, and a small portion of whole clusters was used during winemaking to enhance freshness and aromatic intensity. Fermentation took place with ambient yeasts, and the wine aged in French oak barrels for 10 months.
Pinot Noir 2021 Jules Taylor is made for those who want to enjoy, on an everyday basis, the elegance of the New World—fruit-forward, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Its price is more than allowing it!
