TILLEY'S WINE NEWS
The Benefit of Wine Labels: Chronicle & Echo
Last month, Ivor was asked the value of wine labels and descriptions in his county's newspaper, the Northampton Chonicle & Echo. We hope you agree that they provide an important function to the drinker as we don't all have the palates of experts ... but are ready and willing to practise more!

The Adelaide Review Hot 100
For the second year in a row, we’re chuffed to announce that Hugh Hamilton has made it into the Top 10 of the Adelaide Review Hot 100, this time with their 'The Ratbag' Merlot. Here are the judges’ comments for 'The Ratbag' Merlot: “This is a wine where you can taste the leaves, flowers, fruit and the earth. Very ripe with sweet balanced spices and a lovely plum, cake and spice mixture. Well balanced with the fruit to the fore but an intriguing drive of herbaceous tannins which led to an elegant finish with good intensity and length” The 'The Rascal' Shiraz also made it into the top 100 where the judges commented: “Lovely rich and ripe aromas and flavours with hints of the exotic in this wine described as fruit swathed in new clothes, plush and the star of the wine. A lifted Jaffa character and elegant finish” The challenge has now been set, they’re aiming for a “hat trick” next year!04 March 2011
Jancis Robinson: Protect McLaren Vale!
A topic very close to our hearts is the proposed plans for a commercial and residential development on land established as being of geological interest to wine growers and makers in the Vale. Famed wine writer, Jancis Robinson, is throwing her support against this threat and recently wrote about the danger to the area on her website. You can read the full article here: http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/a201010023.html We think it would be great to get as many people as possible to register their concern. You can do this by either sending an email to the Honourable Paul Holloway, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, at minister.holloway@sa.gov.au. Alternatively, you can email info@mclarenvale.info.11 October 2010

TIlley's Wines have been invited to exhibit at the Boutique Wineries Tasting on Tuesday 21 September at the Millbank Tower, London. This is our first exhibition and what a lovely location for our first showcase - overlooking the River Thames and Houses of Parliament. Now the hard part - we're only allowed to present you 15 wines which leaves us with the hard decision of which ones to choose!15 June 2010
Australian Wine In the Press
It's been recently reported that the Australian wine industry is up the creek. It is true that the drought has taken a toll on some producers but there is a glut of grapes using mass-produced techniques. As a result many young wineries who tried their luck at winemaking have had to pull up their vines and experts warn the end of cheap Australian supermarket wine. But is that so bad? I feel sorry for the farmers but for those who continue to make top quality Australian wine, including those we bring you from Tilley's Wines, the future is still looking bright.28 May 2010
Tilley's Wines New Website
Much overdue but Tilley's Wines launched their new website, late on Sunday night, 16 May 2010. Ivor's daughter , Annabelle, decided to take a more active involvement (apart from drinking her Dad's wine that is) and embrace all things digital. With the help of close friends and talented web designers Oz and Julie Blayney of Blayney Partnership (and a fair few bottles of Australian wine - purely to let get the creatibe juices following), the new site has launched. There's sure to be some undiscovered glitches or the odd typo which we will be searching for but if you happen to spot anything before us or have any feedback what you like and don't like, Tilley's Wines would love to hear from you. Happy searching.15 May 2010
