Jules Taylor

Founded, owned and operated in Marlborough by Jules and George, Jules Taylor Wines is the successful result of big dreams, hard work and a healthy dose of not taking ourselves too seriously. Born in Marlborough in the year the first vines were planted, Jules literally grew up with Sauvignon Blanc.  Local maid Jules used her postgraduate diploma in viticulture and oenology for several years as a winemaker for one of Marlborough's largest wineries, and then as a Consultant Winemaker for the region's most prestigious brand.

In 2001, Jules Taylor Wines was created as a small side hustle with only 200 boxes. Five years, two children, and many, many late nights later, George and Jules made the nerve-wracking decision to risk it all, quit their day jobs, and give their dream a chance. Today, Jules makes her harvest decisions in the vineyard, purely on taste rather than through laboratory analyses. Regardless of the cost, Jules will only release a wine if she is completely satisfied that it has met her standards. Jules left her corporate winemaking career to give her the freedom to make wines the way she thinks they should be made. She only makes one batch of each wine per harvest. So enjoy it while you can. When it's gone, it's really gone.
