Goods and ServicesThe Taylors Wines business is currently 80% domestic, with exports representing 20% of the business. Prior to the GFC, exports had been 25% of sales. "We're looking at making some changes and getting a bit of momentum back in our export sales and we're up on last year which is good so we're starting to realign and refocus on them, working with better partners in some of the new markets we're going into" - Mitchell Taylor.
As a results of this business outlook the Taylor's Wines online cellar door is important as it helps sell wine abroad and arrange deliveries. The online store is at: |
IdeasSince 2000, Taylors has led the early adoption of the screw-cap closure. In mid-2000, Taylors Wines joined with fellow Clare Valley winemakers for a meeting at the classic Rising Sun Hotel and a historic decision was made. The Clare Valley winemakers agreed to initiate what would be a game-changing move, to bottle the region’s iconic Riesling under screw-cap.
In 2004 Taylors Wines moved to seal all their wines under screw-cap, the first major winery in Australia to do so. More than a decade on, screw-cap closures now account for more than 90% of current vintage Australian wine. |
