The St Andrews vineyard in Clare Valley goes back 125 years when two Scottish immigrants purchased the 323 acre farming property and turn it into vineyards and orchards, naming it after the patron saint of their homeland. In 1995 Taylors Estate bought the historic site and four years later they’d produced their first wines from this awesome site.
The highest quality fruit, aged 18 months in oak, this is one of the Clare Valley’s most iconic Shiraz labels and not one for the faint hearted. It’s a big, full bodied, powerful style with big tannins and sweet-fruit – like we say, a whopper!
Scoring a whopping 95/100 with Master of Wine Bob Campbell who said “Dense, creamy-textured red with obvious power. Good depth of flavour which includes cacao nibs, mocha, plum and cassis all nicely layered to emphasise the wine’s obvious complexity. Surprisingly approachable now but with good cellaring potential”.
A special wine that will comfortably cellar into 2038 and beyond!
