Wakefield Wines

Situated in the heart of South Australia’s beautiful Clare Valley, Wakefield has become one of Australia’s best loved and most trusted wineries. The tale of Wakefield's wine-making goes back a few years – three generations in fact, and all began with Bill Taylor Senior, and his love of the famous French Clarets. Bill Taylor Snr, together with his sons John and Bill set about sourcing an exceptional site to realise their dream and establish their vineyard, and in 1969 purchased a holding of 178 hectares by the Wakefield River in Auburn.  The site was carefully chosen for its red brown loam over limestone soils (called ‘terra rossa’) and for the cool climate of the Clare Valley, known to be excellent for producing Cabernet Sauvignon. That year they planted their very first Cabernet Sauvignon vines, and never looked back…
