Winter Warming Wine Guide
Merlot
This wine has ripe berries, rich fruitcake flavours, and soft, velvety tannin, while French and American oak notes add dark chocolate, coffee bean, and vanilla characters is the perfect base for a delicious Mulled Wine this winter.
Taylors Estate Shiraz
A soft and “fleshy” shiraz, this wine has a lively taste of juicy red berry fruits, plum, and spice, along with subtle chocolate and savoury characters from maturing in oak, all of which are heaven when combined with a warming French Onion Soup or decadent Poached Pears with Chocolate Ganache for dessert.
Taylors Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A rich and expressive wine with flavours of cassis, mulberry, and a hint of eucalypt, with notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and spice. Pair with the ultimate winter comfort meal - slowly braised lamb ragu with pappardelle pasta.
Taylors Estate Chardonnay
With luscious flavours of white peach, citrus, and tropical fruit overlaying toasted cashew and a creamy texture from fine French oak. This is the perfect winter white wine to accompany roast chicken or warming pumpkin soup.
Shiraz
A rich, full-bodied win, this shiraz has intense flavours of ripe red berry fruit, violets, and attractive oak characters of roasted coffee beans and dark chocolate, which are heaven for the taste buds when paired with this indulgent self-saucing chocolate pudding.
Taylors Jaraman Cabernet Sauvignon
This velvety cabernet has aromas of dark cherry and mint, plus intense flavours of cassis and blackberry fruit along with attractive oak characters of cigar box and tobacco leaf. Cabernet Sauvignon and succulent roast lamb shoulder is a classic pairing for a reason. Or try this Smokey Minestrone Soup with spicy chorizo and warming ginger.
Taylors Jaraman Grenache
A lighter style red wine with juicy red fruit flavours of raspberry and strawberry, accompanied by subtle hints of cinnamon spice. Grenache, with its versatile flavour profile and moderate tannins, can be a fantastic choice for vegetarian winter dishes like roast eggplant or this Honey Vegetable Galette.
Taylors Jaraman Chardonnay
An intensely flavoured, complex yet elegant wine with distinct citrus, white peach, and nectarine characters, perfect with a creamy mushroom risotto.
