Bailey+Wine+Co.jpg
 

Bailey Wine Co is a small family business, owned by Tim and Kate Bailey. Based in Coonawarra, South Australia, we produce a small range of single vineyard wines from our favourite regions across South Australia and Victoria .

After 19 years and 20 vintages at Leconfield Wines, Tim decided it was time to take the plunge and start making his own booze and so, Bailey Wine Co was established in late 2015. The first wines Tim produced under his own label were inspired by some wines tasted early in his winemaking career that left a lasting impression, such as the famous Leo Buring "Leonay" Riesling's and Mt Langi Ghiran Shiraz.

 

Our goal.

Quite simply, to produce a range of modern, vibrant, fruit driven wines that reflect their sense of
place. Most importantly, they’re enjoyable to drink! This involves sourcing top quality fruit from outstanding growers in regions renowned for these varieties. This allows us to produce the best example of a wine we would like to make. Our relationship with the growers is very important, so much so, we choose to recognise the grower on our labels.

The result is a fridge full of our favourite whites, and a cellar packed with some exceptional reds.

 REVIEWS

2017 WATERVALE ‘BRYKSY VINEYARD’ RIESLING

  • JAMES HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

    94/100

    “Perfumed and inviting from the outset but there's keen intensity of flavour here too; helped along no doubt by a whisper of fruit (if not actual) sweetness. It bounces along with lime and apple blossom-like flavour/aroma and comes across at all times as thoroughly delicious.”

  • QWINE REVIEWS

    94/100

    “The second edition of the Bailey Wine Co Riesling and this is an absolute beauty! My last taste (drink) of this (2016 vintage) was sitting by the dam at John Rymill’s property just outside Penola in January 2017 as we watched the sunset and scoffed freshly caught lobster from Robe. This suited the purpose just fine then. Wish I had more lobster now…”

2019 MT GAMBIER ‘PUDNEY VINEYARD’ ROSE

  • QWINE REVIEWS

    93/100

    “Rose gold in the glass, it's all strawberries and cream, cranberries and red currants. A wonderful apple crunch and fab line of acidity all point towards large pours and big smiles. Go here without question.”

  • JAMES HALLIDAY | WINE COMPANION

    90/100

    “Picked early, pressed with a Champagne cycle, the juice settled, then fermented with two different yeasts in used hogsheads, matured for 4 months. Very pale pink; the flavours are of forest fruits/wild strawberries with an overall citrussy acidity. Serious rose.”

  • Silver - 2019 Limestone Coast Wine Show

2018 GRAMPIANS ‘HYDE PARK VINEYARD’ SHIRAZ

  • JANE FAULKNER | HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

    95/100

    “Enticing dark purple hue and no denying its DNA - Grampians through and through. While ultimately a savoury drink, it has a core of plump, juicy fruit spiced with cinnamon, pepper and Aussie bush seasoning. Full bodied, the palate lengthened by layers of smoky-meaty nuances, roasted hazelnuts and amazingly velvety, tamed tannins.”

2017 ADELAIDE HILLS ‘CHARLIE’s PATCH’ CHARDONNAY

  • QWINE REVIEWS

    93/100

    “Splash this beauty in your glass and it cruises through the mouth. A touch of melted butter tucks in behind figs, licks of caramel and barbecued white stone fruit. There's wonderful width with soft feels plus well-balanced acidity finishing with a lemon sherbet tang.”

2018 COONAWARRA ‘RASSMUSSEN VINEYARD’ CABERNET SAUVIGNON

  • QWINE REVIEWS

    91/100

    “Lillipilly, red fruits, and some dark currants get things moving. Leafy scents, cut green herbs via sage and thyme all lend a hand as does dark chocolate.”
