JULES TAYLOR WINES

Creating honest, tasty, fruit-packed Marlborough wines is what Jules does best. Her wine is for people who laugh. People who sing, dance, feast and celebrate. People who sit out on the back deck solving the world’s problems.

BORN IN MARLBOROUGH

Born in Marlborough in the year the first vines were planted, Jules has literally grown up with Sauvignon Blanc.

Local girl Jules is deeply invested in the region and its grape-growing families, and throughout her career has made some of Marlborough’s best known and successful wines.

NURTURED IN ITALY

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.

CULTIVATED IN NEW ZEALAND

In 2001, Jules Taylor Wines emerged as a little moonlighting project with a mere 200 cases. Jules figured that if they didn't sell, the family would enjoy a very boozy Christmas!

Five years, two children and many, many late nights later, George and Jules took the nail-biting decision to put everything on the line, jack in their day jobs, and give their dream a shot.
