EXCEPTIONAL PARCEL RELEASE
The Visionary
Our pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon is named in honour of Bill Taylor Senior, Taylors founder and visionary, whose ambition to craft wines that stand tall amongst the world's best continues to guide us today. The Taylor family were really inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux, particularly the long lived Cabernet Sauvignons. So with this in mind, Mitchell Taylor expressed a desire to his chief winemaker that Taylors craft an extraordinary wine that represented the utmost refinement of this noble grape and truly embodied his grandfather's original vision.
The wine was only to be produced in what was deemed exceptional quality vintages and to ensure its rarity, in extremely limited volumes. The Visionary Cabernet Sauvignon that has been created is not only a pure expression of the unique Clare Valley terroir but also the skill and craft of our winemakers, who understand exactly what it takes to achieve greatness.
It's our intention to honour that original vision with this wine. That it not only rivals the best in Australia, but stands tall amongst the best in the world.
EXCEPTIONAL PARCEL RELEASE
The Pioneer
Our pinnacle Shiraz is named to celebrate the pioneering spirit of Bill Taylor; who had the conviction to do things differently and who demonstrated the fortitude to stay on a path to greatness. In the early days of the business, Bill was astute enough to recognise the emerging popularity of Shiraz. At the time, the plan was to plant most of the Clare Valley vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon but he insisted that a small block be set aside to also plant Shiraz.
Well, as we now know, his foresight proved to be very correct and a generation later, this kind of determination is present in everything we do at Wakefield Wines. So the decision to craft an exceptional Shiraz to honour that pioneering spirit was made. This pinnacle wine, The Pioneer Shiraz is yet another bold step in the Taylor family's journey to crafting fine wines.
It's made only in what are deemed exceptional vintages and in very small quantities. With our Clare Valley terroir providing ideal conditions, the intention is that this wine will not only rival the best in Australia, but stand toe to toe with the best in the world.
