Managing Director and Winemaker Mitchell Taylor speaks of The Legacy, “This is a wine that speaks to our founding purpose – to craft new world wines that stand tall against those iconic wines of the old world. The event was a moment for us to reflect on an exciting 50 years, but also celebrate the setting of a new benchmark for future generations of Taylors to come.”
