YELLOW TAIL CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Think Clare Valley and the name Taylors will roll off the tongue. In fact think top Aussie red producers and the name Taylors will pop up. It’s why they’re a member of the Australia’s First Families of Wine, the 12 founding family owned wineries across the ditch, and why for as long as we can remember this has been one of the most reliable, bang for your buck labels.

We reckon Taylors must be a little bit mad putting quality rich, lucious, medium to full bodied Shiraz under such a moderately priced label. They win an insane number of Gold medals around the globe every vintage – this 2018 release is out of the traps and already a Gold at NZ’s largest wine comp, the NZ International Wine Show.

One of (if not THE) most awarded Aussie Shiraz on the circuit over the years. Seriously, this label has an addiction to the bling!

Pair this style red with big red meat dishes – steaks, sausages, spicy pizzas or go with the Taylor’s recommendation of garlicy Kangaroo meatballs – if you can get your hands on a pair!

Syrah is fast becoming the star of the Hawke’s Bay wine scene and this Church Road Syrah has been absolutely nailing it over the last few years as one of the top Syrahs around under $20.

You might remember the 2015 vintage took out the “Best Red Wine Buy of the Year” in Michael Cooper’s Wine Buyers Guide for 2017 – other Syrah producers in the region must be seriously scratching their heads wondering how they do it at such a keen price! The ’16 made an appearance in Cuisine magazine’s 2018 Syrah tasting, scored 4 Stars & Best Buy. The 2017 made the shortlist again for Michael Cooper’s Best Red Wine Buy of the Year for 2019.

A silky, supple red with a touch of spice that will leave you grabbing a second glass in a flash! This is the style of red to be pairing with cuts of good old Kiwi lamb and game meats like duck and venison.
