After committing herself to winemaking, Jules Taylor set up her own brand with the release of her first wines from the 2001 vintage. Jules makes her wines personally, but runs her business with the assistance of husband George Elworthy, also a winemaker, and the viticultural expertise of Jeremy Hyland who sources parcels of high quality Marlborough fruit for her wines. As an industry stalwart, Jules has contacts to obtain fruit for other regions to make her wines. The quality of all her releases is high, but most critics would agree that her signature wine is Sauvignon Blanc. Here, I review the new 2017 Rosé from Gisborne fruit, and the 2016 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. www.julestaylor.com
