On this week’s episode of Fine Vines and Wine, I’m joined by Mitchell Taylor, managing director and third generation winemaker at Taylors Wines.
This episode is jampacked with interesting wine chats, important inititives, and bottles you’ll want to add straight to your collection. We talk about how Mitchell started working in the wine industry from a very young age, the story of how he found himself working back at the family business after several years in the finiancial world, and the advantages of being able to see how a business runs from, and work in, multiple different roles to experience the journey of a wine from the vine to someone enjoying it in a restaurant.
We discuss how the wine industry and the wines produced are almost determined by trends and what’s in fashion for that season, the complexity of the industry and what goes on behind a successful brand with the challenges that may arise plus the steps taken to maintain a 5* winery rating from James Halliday himself.
We also delve into the depths and learn all about their new initiative, Sea BnB, which is an amazing concept that Mitchell Taylor is extremely passionate about, Taylors’ stance on sustainability and their aim of making the winery better for each generation to come, and how Taylors Wines and other winemakers in Australia are working together to share the rich Australian wine history with the global market through Australian First Families of Wine.
So grab yourself a big glass of Shiraz (it is National Shiraz day after all), sit back and relax with this week’s episode.
