Jules Taylor

WINEMAKER/OWNER JULES TAYLOR WINES

Chosen as New Zealand Winemaker of the Year in 2021, Jules is a passionate advocate for Marlborough and has made some of the region's best-loved and most successful wines.

 

Born in the year the first vines were planted in Marlborough, Jules has literally grown up with Sauvignon Blanc and is deeply invested in her region and its grape-growing families.

 

After completing a degree in Viticulture at Lincoln University in Christchurch, Jules explored other winemaking regions around the globe, working numerous vintages in Italy and Australia.

 

Several life-affirming vintages in Piedmont and Sicily underscored Jules' love of wine as a simple pleasure to be enjoyed alongside good food and great friends. Jules strongly believes wine should be more about creating great memories and less about status or cellaring potential.

 

On her return home, Jules worked her way to Group Senior Winemaker at one of New Zealand's most acclaimed wineries, before starting her own label on the side in 2001 with just 200 cases.

Five years, two children and many, many late nights later, George and Jules took the nail-biting decision to put everything on the line, jack in their day jobs, and give their dream a shot.

 

Today Jules is the eponymous winemaker at Jules Taylor Wines, the Queen of Sauvignon Blanc and a godmother to several hundred thousand little grapes. Recently awarded NZ Winemaker of the Year by Australian publication Gourmet Traveller Wine, the first time this award has been given to a Marlborough winemaker, she's a straight talker who's also a darn nice person.

The Region

Marlborough

Marlborough put New Zealand on the international wine stage with its exquisite Sauvignon Blanc in the 1980s.
Over 20,000ha of vines (around 2/3 of the national total) are under the care of local wine producers, making it the country's largest wine region.

Marlborough wineries offer a huge range of varieties, from exquisite Pinot Noir to intense Chardonnay, and vivacious aromatics.  

The diverse soils and meso-climates are revealing exciting new sub-regions, and it is within these unique sub-regions that Marlborough’s future lies.

A. Southern Valleys

Wrapping around the surrounding hills the Omaka, Fairhall, Brancott, Ben Morvan and Waihopai Valleys make up this important sub-region. Soils and meso-climates vary, but tend to be heavier and contain more clay than Wairau. It also becomes cooler and drier further south into the valleys. A broad range of varieties are grown according to the merit of each site, with particularly good Pinot Noir and aromatics being produced by the area.

B. Wairau Valley

Old, gravely riverbed soils, and diverse aspects and rainfall create numerous meso-climates within this sub-region. Broadly, it covers a range of cooler, drier inland sites; barren stony, early-ripening sites; and sea-breeze moderated coastal sites. Across the sub-region wines reflect the strengths of individual vineyards and vignerons, but all have the hallmark fruit intensity and body.

C. Awatere Valley

The Awatere Valley is the most geographically distinct sub-region, lying south of the Wairau Valley and stretching inland from the sea, and climbing towards the inland Kaikoura ranges. Cooler, drier, windier and often with a degree of elevation, sites with typically lower yields produce bright, aromatic Pinot Noir and dramatic, distinctive Sauvignons, both of which are attracting increasing international acclaim.
