Taylors’ Jaraman Shiraz sources grapes from two of the finest appellations in South Australia, both of which are cooler and produce more firmly structured reds than the more famous Barossa Valley. This combination of Clare Valley and McLaren Vale fruit delivers an exceptionally complex, beautifully balanced Shiraz that’s especially good for the price. Showing black fruits, spice and a touch of eucalyptus, the Jaraman is full-bodied without being heavy, with a long, lingering finish that begs another sip.
