Baileys of Glenrowan is a quality winery, steeped in history, specialising in fine red wines and luscious fortified wines like Muscat and Topaque (nee Tokay, see below). Established in 1870, Baileys has taken the best of the old vineyard winemaking techniques and combined these with modern winemaking skills to produce outstanding wines. Baileys is a medium sized winery of 143 hectares under vine, all the grapes for the wines are grown in the vineyard and the winemaking is completed on site.  Many traditional winemaking techniques are used at Baileys, including the restored 100 year-old Basket Press. The ‘hands–on’ effort required for the grape growing and winemaking is testament to the passion of the Baileys team.   James Halliday writes: “Just when it seemed that Baileys would remain one of the forgotten outposts of the Foster’s group, the reverse has occurred. Since 1998, Paul Dahlenburg has been in charge of Baileys and has overseen an expansion in the vineyard and the construction of a 2000-tonne winery. The cellar door has a heritage museum, winery-viewing deck, contemporary art gallery and landscaped grounds, preserving much of the heritage value. Baileys has also picked up the pace with its Muscat and Tokay, reintroducing the Winemaker’s Selection at the top of the tree, while continuing the larger-volume Founder series.”   Baileys of Glenrowan have long been specialist port and fortified producers (est. 1870) and with such a well established history and obvious understanding of the style. It was this knowledge and experience that brought Wine Australia knocking to consult with Paul Dahlenburg from Baileys (among others) when a trade agreement with the EU was to be reached that will phase out the use of the terms ‘Port’ and ‘Tokay’ from Australian wine labels as they are now protected designation of origin trademarks specific to the countries of Portugal (exclusive to the Douro Valley in the north) and Hungary (exclusive to Tokaji east of Budapest) respectively. I asked Baileys of Glenrowan winemaker Paul Dahlenburg about the change of names from Tokay to Topaque and here is what he said: “In 2007 an agreement between the EU and Australia was signed which meant for Australia to maintain access to the EU markets we must stop using terms such as Port and Tokay. A major research project was launched to identify replacement names. This new name needed to have no previous trademark and, importantly, it had to fit the wine style and consumer expectation. Topaque was chosen and Baileys has now relabelled its Tokay to Topaque knowing that when the agreement was signed a 10 year phase out was granted. We feel it's important we get behind the new name immediately and start promoting what is a beautiful wine now known as Topaque.” Incidentally, Australia will now use the term ‘Tawny’ on labels in place of ‘Port’ such as ‘Fine Old Tawny’.   Baileys of Glenrowan wines available from Your Wine Guy:   1904 Block Shiraz 2005            96 YWG          92 JH 1920’s Block Shiraz 2009         95 YWG          94 JH 2009 ND (Naturally Dried)       94 YWG Rutherglen Durif 2009              93 YWG Rutherglen Petite Sirah 2009     93 YWG Cabernet Sauvignon 2009         93 YWG Shiraz 2009                             92 YWG          91 JH Founders Topaque                   94 YWG          94 JH Founders Muscat                     94 YWG          93 JH   Call our Chief Wine Specialist on 1300 294 020 or 02 9029 3777 Sub Categories Baileys of Glenrowan 1904 Block Shiraz Baileys of Glenrowan 1920 Block Shiraz Baileys of Glenrowan Sort By: Default Title - A to Z Title - Z to A Price - lowest first Price - highest first Time Added - latest first Popularity - most popular first Sales - best selling first Baileys of Glenrowan 1904 Block Shiraz 2005 - 6 bottle case 96 Points YWG 92 Points James Halliday 5 Red... $314.16 Baileys of Glenrowan 1920 Block Shiraz 2009 – 12 bottle case 95 Points YWG 94 Points James Halliday 5 Red... $398.52 Out of Stock Baileys of Glenrowan 1920 Block Shiraz 2009 – 6 bottle case 95 Points YWG 94 Points James Halliday 5 Red... $210.00 Out of Stock Baileys of Glenrowan 1904 Block Shiraz 2005 96 Points YWG 92 Points James Halliday 5 Red... $52.36 Ok
