Baileys of Glenrowan
In December 2017 this remarkable brand joined Morris of Rutherglen as part of the expanding Casella Family Brands empire. From all angles this is a great outcome for Baileys and one that will give its remarkable wines more focus and attention. Today Baileys now rivals the best of warm inland Australian wines. It now has a stable of four exemplary shirazes (including the new Varley label), of which my favourite, the 1920s Block, is bordering on 4 stars -Ę an extraordinary effort for a table wine from this region. All the reds, the Durif and Petite Sirah included, combine a remarkable level of earthy, meaty development that entirely complements the purity and expression of their fruit. The pick of the current releases is the 2014 Varley Shiraz (95/100, drink 2034-2044+), a superbly presented wine for the ultra-long term. Baileys also offers a charming cellar door experience.
