Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc 2024
(Marlborough, New Zealand) - [WE 93] [WS 90]

About the Winery: 
Jules Taylor has been making NZ wines for over two dozen years: in 2001, Jules Taylor Wines emerged as a little moonlighting project with a mere 200 cases. After leaving her corporate winemaking job five years, two children and many, many late nights later, Jules and her husband George Elworthy took the nail-biting decision to put everything on the line, jack in their day jobs, and give their dream a shot. Jules Taylor Wines have been earning high praise ever since.

Creating honest, tasty, fruit-packed Marlborough wines is what Jules does best. Today, Jules makes her harvesting decisions in the vineyard, purely by taste rather than by laboratory analyses. Jules will only release a wine if she is entirely satisfied it has met her standards. She only makes one batch of each wine every harvest. So, enjoy it while you can. Once it’s gone, it’s well and truly gone.

About this Wine:
This is the wine Jules loves because it is so expressive of the site where it’s grown. It’s a grape that, within a row - and even within a bunch - has a mind-blowing range of full-throttle flavor, just the way Jules likes it.

Ratings & Reviews

93 Points & Best Buy - Wine Enthusiast:
This is a strong, classically styled bottling by Marlborough stalwart Jules Taylor. A heady combo of pineapple, passionfruit and grass is underscored by dried herbs. It flows to a palate that's crisp, dry and peachy right to the finish. Easy sipping with lovely balance, tension and textural weight for food friendliness. — Christina Pickard

90 Points - Wine Spectator:
Robust lemon sorbet, pomelo and fresh apple notes mingle with a ripe pear accent in this white. Details of white pepper, lemon blossoms and ginger add an air of elegance, with a fine thread of acidity. Drink now.
