Taylors unveils two elegant new Limited Edition gift boxes for the Chinese New Year

Award-winning, family-owned South Australian wine brand Taylors has launched two stunning new limited edition gift boxes featuring a bottle of wine from Taylors’ premium St Andrews wine range, making them the ideal gift for wine lovers.

One of Taylors most distinguished collections, the St Andrews wine range is renowned for its complexity, elegance, and outstanding quality. Gift box options include either the Taylor's St Andrews Shiraz or the Taylor's St Andrews Cabernet Sauvignon.

Each of the wines are beautifully presented in a striking red and gold box—colours deeply significant in Chinese culture. Red symbolises fire, good fortune, happiness, and joy, while gold represents wealth and prosperity. Together, these colours are believed to bring blessings of good fortune and prosperity in the year ahead.

The Taylors St Andrews Shiraz is a rich, full-bodied wine that showcases the best of the Clare Valley terroir. At release, the wine boasts a concentrated ruby red colour with a dark purple hue. The nose is complex with concentrated aromas of violets, dark plum, and liquorice, with the added complexity of creamy American oak. The voluptuous and well-balanced palate has layers of flavour and excellent mid-palate expression. Fresh red berry fruits are complemented by mocha and vanilla spice, while the long, persistent finish leaves a lasting impression. The wine was fermented in headless American oak barrels and aged for 18 months, resulting in an elegant finish.

Taylors St Andrews Shiraz has been crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a long term under ideal conditions.

The perfect Chinese entrees to enjoy with the Taylors St Andrews Shiraz are savoury meat dishes such as crispy duck or teriyaki beef.

Showcasing the best of Clare Valley Cabernet, the Taylors St Andrews Cabernet Sauvignon is a true expression of this iconic variety, offering rich fruit characters of cassis and ripe blackcurrants, alongside earthy nuances and subtle oak influences.

This well-balanced wine with layers of complexity features an enticing aroma of ripe blackcurrants, choc-mint, and a hint of dried tomato leaf, which interweave harmoniously with hints of cedar and tobacco.

Elegant and complex with long, fine tannins, it possesses all the characteristics that make great Cabernet Sauvignon so revered.

Taylors St Andrews Cabernet Sauvignon is designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring.

For an ideal Chinese dish to enjoy with Taylors St Andrews Cabernet Sauvignon, look for entrees that include earthy elements such as shiitake mushrooms, as the wine really brings out the earthy flavours.
