A soft, round and fleshy palate delivers flavours of ripe plum, red berries along with subtle liquorice and chocolate, with a smooth and elegant finish. This is an easy-drinking, soft and approachable wine.

The Taylor family referred to their original vineyard estate as being the Promised Land due to the quality and promise of its rich fertile soils. The Promised Land ranges of wines, sourced from across Australia’s finest wine regions, are made in a style that is immediately approachable but with a hallmark of quality that is unmistakable.

Wakefield is a third generation family wine business and was founded in 1969 by Bill Taylor who was inspired by his love for the red wines of Bordeaux’s Medoc region. He was drawn to South Australia’s Clare Valley with the attraction of the red-brown loam over limestone soils (also known as Terra Rossa) and the Clare Valley’s cool climate which were known to be ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Today Wakefield is headed up by Mitchell Taylor whose philosophy blends an ‘old world’ estate mind set with ‘new world’ winemaking innovation; coupled with an almost fanatical attention to detail and obsession with quality. This results in wines of tremendous quality and style that are made with respect for the company’s family heritage. Wakefield was recently acclaimed as the most Awarded Winery in the World by The World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ).
