Baileys of Glenrowan 1920’s Block Organic Shiraz 2015
A more elegant expression of this site from a great vintage. It holds its 15% alcohol well now but should become more assertive and bloody over time. Gently oaked, its spicy, floral aromas of black, blue and red berries and dark plums reveals a regional earthy note. Long and concentrated, its finely balanced palate of small berries and plums knits is supported by a firmish spine and melds tightly with leathery and gamey notes plus a hint of roasting pan juices.

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.
