Our pinnacle Shiraz is named to celebrate the pioneering spirit of Bill Taylor who had the conviction to do things differently and who demonstrated the fortitude to stay on a path to greatness.
Our pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon is named in honour of Bill Taylor Senior, Wakefield's founder and visionary, whose ambition to craft wines that stand tall amongst the world's best continues to guide us today.
Named after the historic property first established in 1892. A true reflection of the terroir, St. Andrews wines exemplify the very best of handcrafted Clare Valley winemaking.
Australia's iconic wine regions provide great diversity. With the Jaraman range we search for parcels of extraordinary fruit to craft wines that showcase their distinctive regional characteristics and style.
With the first planting of our vineyards in 1969, we set out on a journey to create authentic estate grown wines. Nothing prepared us for its overwhelming success, with the first vintage awarded a gold medal in every national wine show entered. While the range has since grown to include more varieties, every bottle is still crafted at our Clare Valley estate with the same care and attention as that very first vintage.
We believe that everything we do starts with nature. The 80 Acres range of wines is our way of demonstrating that great wine shouldn't cost the earth. It's the world's first internationally recognised 100% Carbon Neutral wine, our way of giving back to the environment.
The Promised Land range of wines was inspired by the discovery of fossilised seahorses on the Wakefield estate. While digging the original vineyard dam, the remains of three tiny seahorses were uncovered - fossilised in limestone bedrock. This was confirmation that the area was once the bed of an ancient inland sea and testimony that the rich, terra rossa soils were indeed fertile. The Taylor family agreed that this was a truly promising omen.
