Taylors Legacy Cabernet…

14 May 2019|Exclusive Wine

The 1,080-bottle production of The Legacy Cabernet is the culmination of the winemaking journey of three generations of the Taylor family... a tribute to the past and a treasure for the future! In the 1950’s Bill Taylor Snr. sold the families 100+ chain of pubs in New South Wales and risked the family fortune to create a wine business, initially distributing wines for the Clare Valley Wine co-operative. Intrigued by time spent in Bordeaux researching the great Cabernets of Left Bank... in 1969 Bill Senior with sons Bill and John purchased a property in the Clare Valley and planted Taylors Wine Estate with a principal focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. Today the 3rd generation led by Mitchell, Justin and Clinton have grown their grandfather’s legacy. To mark Taylor’s 50th Anniversary the family collaborated with Chief Winemaker Adam Eggins to create a New World red inspired by the great Growth Cabernets of the Old World, for it to become a true “Legacy” embodying the family’s founding vision. It would take a special vintage... 2014 was that vintage.

27 February 2018|Exclusive Wine

Our very own exclusive Clarendelle wines have teamed up with the talented Nick Honeyman & team at Paris Butter. Their French styled bistro dishes are exactly the sort of fare you would be served in France with a Bordeaux wine like this. The rich warmth of the wine really highlighting the spices, & its earthy undertones a real match for the mushroom components. This is a great dish with the cooler evenings just around the corner... Don’t forget the Clarendelle, bought to you exclusively by FWD Co.!
