Jules Taylor OTQ Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

A delicious, textured and complex Pinot Noir. Violet, poached plum and stewed tamarillo notes overlay darker hints of blackberry and vanilla compote. The nose is completed by lovely smoky, earthy spice and hints of cocoa and cinnamon from the French oak barriques. Generous and juicy on the palate, this Pinot Noir has an elegant structure embracing a beautiful balance of berry fruit and savoury flavours. Smoky oak and firm, spicy tannins leading to a long, dry finish.

With the help of some decidedly tasty grapes, Jules Taylor handcrafts a small collection of top quality wines for all lovers of fine wine. Consistent, distinctive drops that echo the land that serves them up. Crafted, owned and run in Marlborough by Jules and her husband George, Jules Taylor Wines is the successful result of big dreams, hard work and a dedicated team.

Jules has always been keen for a challenge, after completing a bachelor of science she made a sharp right-hand turn taking on a post-grad degree in viticulture and winemaking at Lincoln University. A decision that changed her life.

On the hunt for more knowledge, Jules explored the world’s winemaking regions, expanding her horizons, getting a hands-on education and adding to her book of tricks. She learned the ins and outs of traditional winemaking and her love of fine wine. Returning to Marlborough Jules established quite the name for herself and sprinted up the winemaker ladder. She led the pack as Senior Winemaker at one of New Zealand’s largest wineries and was sought after by a number of others. But with sales projections and marketers calling the shots, it was time for a change. It was time to let the wine do the talking.

Initially, Jules Taylor Wines emerged as a little moonlighting project with a mere 400 cases. Five years, two children and a few thousand cases later, Jules Taylor Wines was officially established.

Still family-owned and operated in Marlborough by Jules and George, Jules Taylor Wines is now an internationally-recognised wine brand with worldwide fans.
