the not serious Jules Taylor

Many people think Jules is a man. She’s not. Much like winemaker Kim Crawford isn’t a woman. One thing Jules Taylor most definitely is, is a fierce maker of the wines.  She’s got the gongs to prove it including the title of Gourmet Traveller Wine New Zealand Winemaker of the Year 2021.Unlike most of the winemakers working in Marlborough, Jules was born and raised in Blenheim. Her Mum and Dad still live there and it’s where Jules and George have raised their kids. It’s safe to say the roots of Jules Taylor, both the person and the wine brand are firmly, deeply, sincerely well established in our most well known wine growing region. Jules arrived to our podcast studio early and ready to go, despite this sort of thing not being her jazz. She admitted to having lost sleep, worrying about what to say. It’s ironic because she’s a dream to chat to and we had a lot of laughs as well as tasted some pretty great Marlborough wine — and it wasn’t just Sauvignon Blanc.It’s all fond memories and feels on this chat so grab a glass of something wildly herbaceous and enjoy.
