2024 Taylors Jaraman Chardonnay, Clare Valley & Adelaide Hills

Taylors Jaraman Chardonnay is a masterful blend of fruit sourced from Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills, two of South Australia’s premier wine regions. Taylors Wines, a family-owned winery founded in 1969, has a rich history of crafting exceptional wines that balance innovation and tradition. This Chardonnay highlights the winemaking expertise of Adam Eggins, who carefully combines fruit from Clare Valley for its structure and Adelaide Hills for its elegance.

The result is a Chardonnay of remarkable complexity and balance, offering aromas of white peach, citrus, and subtle vanilla. On the palate, flavors of nectarine, zesty lemon, and hints of toasted oak unfold, supported by a creamy texture and refreshing acidity. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, roasted poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.

A rich and welcoming varietal palate which is fresh and mouth filling. Round, fleshy, varietally charged with white peaches and nectarines. The palate is also savoury, complex, layered, and inviting with a fresh, clean and persistent finish. The Clare Valley parcel delivers mid palate fleshiness whilst the Adelaide Hills component contributes restrained fruit characters and a hint of minerality that is typical of this region. Overall, this is a wine designed to enjoy with food.
