A Best Buy |
| The Taylor family have been making wines for three generations. They release their wines under \"Wakefield\" in North America to avoid confusion with an American producer of the same name. This is sourced from sites in the relatively cool climate of Clare Valley. You can expect this wine to reflect the sunny tropical fruit, peach and citrus characters this region is known for. Enjoy with barbecued scallops, or a green salad with grilled chicken and avocado. Score - 94 (Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition, 2017) |
