Collection: Taylors Family Estate Wakefield Wines

“Wakefield Wines was chosen as our export label, mainly because of Taylors Port and also Taylor California Cellars in the USA.” Mitchell Taylor

As a result, all Taylors wines in Asia, UK, Europe and North America are sold as Wakefield Wines. Taylors Wines is used in Australia and New Zealand. The wines are exactly the same.

“The curse of such a common surname!” adds Mitchell Taylor.

The Taylor family were Sydney hotel owners and wine merchants when, in 1950, they partnered with the Clarevale Co-operative Winery to bottle and distribute their own wines under the Chateau Clare label. Wanting to get more involved in growing and making wine, and inspired by the great chateaux of Bordeaux, the family explored the wine regions of Australia, finally deciding on the Clare Valley where in 1969 they bought land beside the Wakefield River at Auburn, in the southern part of the region.
