Sustainability
At Taylors, we’ve always believed that green is just as important as red and white. From vine to bottle, our commitment to sustainability runs deep, because the moments our wines are poured into deserve a future worth raising a glass to.
Our Heritage
The Taylor family's long-standing association with the Clare Valley began in the late 1950s when, as Sydney wine merchants, they partnered with the Clare Valley Co-operative to bottle and distribute their own wines under the Chateau Clare label. Inspired by the great producers of Bordeaux and driven by a vision to craft wines that could rival the best in the world, the Taylor family then embarked on a journey to find the perfect plot of land on which to establish their family estate. On July 21st, 1969, their quest brought them to a site by the Wakefield River in South Australia’s Clare Valley. And on the same day that Neil Armstrong took mankind’s first steps onto the moon, Bill Taylor took his first steps on the soil that would eventually become the family estate.
For every table we’ve stood on, and every memory we’ve slipped into, thank you.
