| Background The Tayler family has had a long and proud association with the South African Wine Industry ever since patriarch Henry Tayler established Henry Tayler & Ries in Durban in the late 1800's. The heritage was continued by his sons Charles and Harry and then by third generation Taylers David and Jon before the very successful company was sold to SFW in the late 1960's. The Tayler family name continued to be associated with the liquor industry through the 70's & 80's and, in 1996, the fourth generation Mark Tayler - who had developed a solid knowledge of all aspects of the wine industry after spending several years working on various estates in France and Germany. The company has spent the past five years building up a strong portfolio of local estates & imported wines and has embarked on an intensive consolidation and development program designed to provide a solid springboard for an aggressive expansion drive during 2009. |
