The name’s a bit of a mouthful so Jules just calls it Grüner. She also describes this cool climate Austrian variety as “Imagine the illegitimate lovechild of Riesling and Pinot Gris – what’s not to love?”. Layered and creamy with softened acidity and nutty nuances, this wine has delicous lemon, white peach and green apple flavours and dry palate. Take Jules’ advice and give Grüner a go.

WINEMAKERS NOTES
Grüner Veltliner is a cool climate wine originally from Austria. Jules describes it as “the illegitimate lovechild of Pinot Gris and Riesling!” One of the reasons that we’re making it is to stretch our wings, to see if there is life after Sauvignon Blanc. The initial results suggest that there might be.

About Jules Taylor

Established, owned and operated here 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 has literally grown up with Sauvignon Blanc.

Local girl Jules spent several years putting her viticulture and oenology post graduate degree to use as Group Senior Winemaker for one of Marlborough’s largest wineries, and then as Consultant Winemaker to the region’s most prestigious brand

Several life-affirming vintages in Italy underscored Jules’ love of wine as a simple pleasure to be enjoyed alongside good food and great friends. Jules strongly believes wine should be more about creating great memories and less about status or cellaring potential.
