Wining Pom, February 2012
Something of a novelty here, with the winemakers at Taylors given free reign to play around with parcels of fruit and make wines of interest. The fruit for this comes from the revered St. Andrews vineyard that makes stellar Riesling. 2011 was one of the wettest on record in the Clare which allowed the winemakers to make Taylors first ever botrytis. This special block was monitored carefully before being handpicked at 19.8 Baume on the 14th of April. The result is a nose that you can get lost in, vital peach, apricot, cumquat and citrus as well as rich honey and toffee. ItÆs certainly sweet, almost overwhelmingly so. Unctuous on entry as a texture of silken honey cascades through the palate but just as you think that sweetness might get too much, an injection of lime and orange marmalade fills out the finish. The acids cut through impressively to aid the overall balance and provide a welcome sour tang. An impressive first foray into the world of stickies.

Quench
Surprisingly this is Taylors first botrytis after more than 40 years of winemaking. From a vintage that was unseasonably wet but ideal for botrytis it's aromatic, luscious and lovely with citrus lime and marmalade flavours, zingy acidity and a sweet lingering finish.

New Releases
Made by Helen McCarthy, this wine is the very first botrytis riesling released by Taylors. The Winemaker's Project, which also includes a Vermentino and a GSM blend, gives the Taylors winemakers the chance to experiment with different styles, crafting in small batches and producing wines they are inspired by. This limited edition dessert style shows notes of citrus and cumquat on the nose, the palate is dedicate with fresh fruit and lime marmalade flavours, good velvety sweetness, and a clear finishing acidity. The fruit for this wine comes from a single block (A81) usually used for the winery's flagship St Andrews Riesling.
