"Big flavours, lashings of dark fruits"
Taylors Jaraman Shiraz
- 91/100 (Aaron Brasher, The Real Review) - "Big flavours, lashings of dark fruits, spice, mocha and sweet oak. Plush and mouthfiilling, there's a decent lick of tannin and acid doing their collective best to tame the powerful fruit and they are doing a pretty good job"
- Jaraman is named after tiny fossilised seahorses. Aww cute. But wait, there's more!
- Rich, lucious, full bodied Shiraz from the Clare Valley & McLaren Vale
- Drink now or cellar for the next 10 years

Small fossils, big possibilities. When digging their first dam the Taylors family came across some tiny fossilised seahorses. Aww cute. But wait, there’s more!
Remembering everything they learnt in Viticulture 101 – where there are tiny fossilised seahorses there must have been an ancient seabed. Where there’s an ancient seabed there’s limestone…and where there’s aged limestone there’s rich terra rossa soil and that is like gold to a vine!
Jaraman is the Aboriginal word for ‘Horse’ and the three tiny seahorses that are behind this story and feature on the label are a nod to the three previous generations of Taylors’ family winemakers.
Different (sea) horses for different (sea) courses. They’ve combined a-grade parcels of fruit from two of Australia’s best known Shiraz producing regions, the Clare Valley (63%) and McLaren Vale (37%), to produce this absolutely sumptous, rich and full bodied red.
Drinking well now but if you’re into tucking wines away in your cellar this will go as long as ten years.
