Taylors Jaraman Sauvignon Blanc 2025 | Adelaide Hills

Winemaking Notes

The Taylors Jaraman Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is crafted from premium Adelaide Hills fruit, where the cool-climate conditions ensure slow, even ripening and the preservation of vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity. The winemaking approach focuses on capturing and preserving the lifted tropical and herbaceous characters that define exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Careful vineyard selection and precise harvest timing ensure the grapes achieve optimal flavour development whilst maintaining the fresh, zesty acidity that provides structure and drive. The wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar gracefully until 2028, allowing the honeysuckle and tropical fruit characters to develop further complexity. Technical details reflect excellent balance: 12.5% alcohol, pH 3.10, 6.70g/litre acid, and 1.4g/litre residual sugar, ensuring the wine maintains its vibrant, refreshing character whilst delivering concentrated mid-palate texture and a long, refined finish.

Vintage Conditions

The 2025 vintage in Adelaide Hills produced exceptional fruit quality for Sauvignon Blanc, with ideal cool-climate conditions allowing for extended hang time and the development of complex aromatics. The region's elevated sites and cool temperatures preserved the natural acidity and vibrant fruit characters that define Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, whilst allowing the grapes to develop concentrated flavours of tropical pineapple, passionfruit, lime and citrus. The vintage conditions encouraged the development of the wine's distinctive herbaceous notes of tomato bush and white ginger, adding complexity and regional character. Balanced growing conditions throughout the season ensured even ripening and optimal flavour development, resulting in a wine that showcases lifted aromatics, concentrated texture, and lively acidity. The combination of cool nights and warm days allowed the fruit to retain its freshness and vibrancy whilst developing the honeysuckle sweetness and subtle spice that add depth to the palate, creating a Sauvignon Blanc of exceptional refinement and elegance.
