NZ Jules Taylor OTQ Single Vineyard Limited Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Jules Taylor is one of the leading boutique producers in Marlborough and well worth seeking out, crafting an exceptional range of aromatic whites together with Pinot Noir. It’s little surprise that her Sauvignon Blanc shines, with its pristine and delicate mineral drive backed up with some fresh green herb and tropical notes. Crisp, dry and very moorish.

Jules Taylor was recognised by Gourmet Traveller Wine as their NZ Winemaker of the Year 2021. Jules is one of New Zealand’s modern pioneers, producing outstanding wine, who is fiercely proud of her region.

Jules Taylor was also Wine Maker for famous Cloudy Bay. (test14)

TASTING NOTES:

This is a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc like no other you’ve yet experienced!

A complex and nuanced nose of very ripe mango. pineapple, guava and crushed herbs, combined with toasted pecans and hazelnuts. This wine has a rich palate and softer acid than classic expressions of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Candied pineapple, mango and citrus flavours interlace with notes of honey and butterscotch and then give way to a long smoky complex finish.

PAIRING: The OTQ Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant and complex match for a variety of seafoods; scallops, grilled fish, squid, trout or salmon. It also works well with soft cheeses, or try it with Halloumi & smashed garlic potatoes with seasonal salsa.
