Taylors Jaraman Shiraz

Small fossils, big possibilities. When digging their first dam the Taylors family came across some tiny fossilised seahorses. Aww cute. But wait, there’s more!

Remembering everything they learnt in Viticulture 101 – where there are tiny fossilised seahorses there must have been an ancient seabed. Where there’s an ancient seabed there’s limestone…and where there’s aged limestone there’s rich terra rossa soil and that is like gold to a vine!

Jaraman is the Aboriginal word for ‘Horse’ and the three tiny seahorses that are behind this story and feature on the label are a nod to the three previous generations of Taylors’ family winemakers.

Different (sea) horses for different (sea) courses. They’ve combined a-grade parcels of fruit from two of Australia’s best known Shiraz producing regions, the Clare Valley (63%) and McLaren Vale (37%), to produce this absolutely sumptous, rich and full bodied red.

This latest 2022 vintage is a beauty and has two 95 point scores to its name!

95/100 & Top Rank Award (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
“The palate is dark, juicy and mouth-filling. There’s a drive of pure dark fruits along with bramble, dark chocolate, licorice and mint. The tannins are firm and structured and the acidity brings cut and snap to the finish. Big, bold, juicy and very nicely balanced”

95/100 (Aaron Brasher, The Real Review)
“Inky shiraz with a deliciously juicy, drinkable texture that makes me want to pour another glass. Intense but not overpowering with good cellaring potential.”

Drinking well now but if you’re into tucking wines away in your cellar this will go as long as ten years.
