Taylors Jaraman Shiraz 2024 Clare Valley & McLaren Vale

Winemaking Notes

This careful winemaking approach ensures the wine displays lifted aromas of black plum and blackberry, complemented by hints of coffee bean and spice, whilst the luscious layers of dark berry fruit, ripe cherries, and plum create a rich and satisfying palate. The inviting oak notes of roasted coffee beans and spice add complexity and depth, with the maturation in American oak hogsheads providing the balanced and structured character that defines this wine. The rich cerise red colour with a vibrant purple hue reflects the wine's concentration and quality fruit from Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, whilst the firm tannins and persistent length make for a truly pleasing palate. The wine displays beautiful integration between fruit intensity and oak influence, with the 12-15 months maturation in a selection of American oak hogsheads (combination of new and older oak) ensuring the inviting oak notes of roasted coffee beans and spice complement rather than overwhelm the luscious layers of dark berry fruit, ripe cherries, and plum, creating a wine that showcases exceptional quality and character from Clare Valley and McLaren Vale.
