Helloand welcome to our first issue of SoVino, a celebration of our
enjoyment of a fine drop, brought to you by the passionate people
at Independent Liquor Retailers. I have decided to begin our
journey together with the immortal words of that great American
writer Ernest Hemingway; for try as I might, I could think of nothing
to trump Mr. Hemingway’s quote when it came to articulating
just what it is about this noble liquid that makes us love it as
much as we do. Winemaking is perhaps one of mankind’s oldest
endeavours, and archaeologists tell us that humans have been
squeezing grapes and fermenting their juice since prehistoric times.
Of course in Australia, our winemaking history begins at a much
later point in time, and acceptance of it in mainstream culture is
even more recent. Our love of a good beer is well documented
however, as is our appreciation of a fine spirit. At SoVino, we hope
to give you an insight into some of our finest wines and the people
that make them, along with the latest in beers, premium spirits and
liqueurs. In our first issue, we take a look at the Canberra region,
and also have a chat with recent award winner from Young, Jason
Brown. We’ll give you some great tips on summer entertaining and
throw in some food matching ideas as well. I trust you will love
reading the first issue of SoVino as much as we’ve loved putting it
together and look forward to sharing many more issues with you in
the future.

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”

Summer Party FunThe combination of summer, friends, food and cocktails is a great recipe for fun; and with a little pre-planning you can turn a
good party into a great one.
What’s the occasion?
Whether it’s an intimate formal
dinner party or a casual
everyone-bring-a-plate affair,
once you’ve decided on the
exact nature of your get-
together, everything else—such
as number of guests, food,
music, drinks, time of day, and
location—can fall more easily
into place.
Theme it
Choosing a theme adds an
immediate splash of fun to a
party, gives you something to
plan to, and builds excitement
amongst your guests. From
a garden picnic to an elegant
garden party, a 1920s
prohibition cocktail party to a
Hawaiian Luau, the range of
themes you can choose from
is endless.
Soundtrack
The role of music at a party
is crucial in setting and
maintaining the mood. MP3
players make it easy to
organise the perfect selection
of songs to move the natural
flow of your party. Start out
with quieter music for the first
hour as guests arrive, move
it to a more upbeat pace and
then wind things down with a
mellow selection.
Food
Perhaps one of the most
important elements to every
successful party comes down
to one thing: food. Make sure
your menu reflects the theme
of your party and the weather.
On really hot days for example,
go for lighter, fresher options
such as chilled dips and
spreads, salads, sorbets and
fruity cocktails, instead of rich,
heavy food.
This time of year, there are plenty of reasons to throw open your doors – from a backyard bash to a starlit dinner. But if the idea of logistics is putting you off, we’ve gathered together some tried-and-true tips to help you make the most of the social season.

ENTERTAINING FOR THE PARTY SEASON

Bocce on the lawns
Avoid bottleneck at the bar
Multiple beverage stations help
ensure that guests can get a
refill without waiting. Galvanised
tubs, colorful enamel buckets,
and planters full of ice, stacked
with an assortment of drinks,
save room in the fridge and
make it easy for guests to help
themselves whenever they’re
thirsty. Don’t forget to provide
an interesting non-alcoholic
beverage option for the non-
drinkers who invariably get
bored drinking soda water
and lime.
Get a head start
No one wants to spend their
own party tied to the kitchen
or sorting out problems, so get
everything that you can ready in
advance, such as food, drinks,
plates, glasses, music playlist,
seating and decorating. And
if you’re planning on holding a
BBQ, don’t forget to check that
the gas bottle is full!
Let it shine
If your party is at night, lighting
is a great way to create
ambience. String up fairy lights
or enjoy candlelight in hurricane
lanterns or jam jars.
Combat the bugs
Ensure the comfort of your
guests by investing in repellent
candles, lanterns and torches,
to ward off the mozzies.
Entertainment
If you really want to give your
guests something to talk about
and break the ice between
people who don’t know each
other well, plan something
completely novel. From setting
up an outdoor screen and
showing a movie, to organising
a friendly poker tournament,
there are lots of great ideas to
get everyone involved.

White WinesEvans & Tate Artisan 2012 Sauvignon Blanc
Blending parcels of the finest Sauvignon blanc with a
lesser amount of Semillon, the result is a wine that shows
layers of aroma, flavour and textural elements whilst
remaining fresh and vibrant. The wine displays citrus fruits,
guava and cut grass aromas that are mirrored nicely on
the palate with creamy cashew nut and spice nuances.
$2699 ea
sandalford Margaret River Range 2012 Classic Dry White
With a pale lime colour as befits a fresh new vintage
and a lovely, elegant, perfumed bouquet of fresh
gooseberry and mange tout, this light bodied wine is
easy to drink. There is a real minerality to the palate and
those flavours seen on the nose translate beautifully
to the palate. As reflected in the vintage, the acidity
is perfectly judged and the wine finishes with a zesty
crispness and harmonious balance.
$1999 ea
Hugel Gentil 2011
This wine revives an ancient Alsace tradition of calling
wines assembled from noble grape varieties “Gentil”.
A cool and long growing season gives this unique dry
wine great finesse and unequalled drinkability. Bright,
young and fresh, it has a nice richness and opulence on
the palate without heaviness. Well-balanced, soft and
tender with a lively acidity on the finish.

sandalford Margaret River Range 2011 Cabernet Merlot
2011 was an early year for Margaret River, with the reds
coming in a couple of weeks after the whites. But unlike
the whites, they were more evenly spread out in terms
of picking schedules. Smooth yet firm tannins add great
length to the finish of this wine. There are well-balanced
nuances of new French Oak, but the fruit is definitely the
driver of this style.

Hardys TINTARA 2011 Shiraz
McLaren Vale missed out on the worst of the rains
that besieged Australia and their Shiraz vineyards,
especially the drier sites, made small parcels of very
high quality fruit. This wine is a vivid dark ruby red in
colour, with a bouquet of milk chocolate, chocolate
ice cream, fruitcake spice, plum/mulberry. Voluptuous
and plush mouth-filling tannin with plum and cocoa
flavours, a sweet fruit profile and finely grained and
succulent structure.

Brand’s Laira Blockers 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon
Brand’s Laira Blockers cabernet sauvignon is a
powerful and intensely flavoured wine that pays tribute
to the rich heritage that Brand’s Laira has within
Coonawarra. Laden with dark berry fruits, cedar wood
spices and long supple tannins this wine is drinking
beautifully now or perfect for the cellar.

SUMMER ISSUE 13/14 7
From the beginning, founder Michael Wright’s vision for Voyager Estate was to deliver a wine experience not previously seen in Margaret River. With over 150 years of family farming in his blood, Michael’s fascination with agriculture and in bringing produce to life led him to the wine industry in 1991.
He used his extensive knowledge of soils and climate to help him
in his choice of vineyard location, enabling Voyager Estate to grow
the grape varieties best suited to the area and to make elegant and
sophisticated wines that tell a site-specific story.
Voyager Estate is located
in the southern part of the
Margaret River region in
Western Australia, just a
few kilometres from the
ocean. Michael settled on
the sub-region of Stevens
Valley because it had the ideal
characteristics to create wines
that are at home amongst the
world’s best. The gravel soils,
microclimate, aspect, and
consistent maritime influence
are the foundations of the
Voyager Estate wine style.
The viticulture and winemaking
teams work together to create distinctive wines from each vintage
displaying elegance, complexity and balance that are true to the
individuality of the vineyard blocks. The genuine dedication to
viticulture can be seen in the fruit, which shows depth of flavour
and finesse, and the winemaking approach is subtle, yet curious,
continually exploring new ideas.
Voyager Estate is also taking significant steps every day to achieve
its long-term objective to be a wholly sustainable enterprise and a
model business to the Australian wine and tourism industries.
The Voyager Estate team consists of more than 60 people all
working to ensure that the extremely high standards set by Michael
are consistently achieved and maintained. It is this dedication to
excellence which has led Voyager Estate to establish itself as one
of Australia’s most memorable wine estates.

2012 Voyager Estate Sauvignon Blanc Semillon - $24.99
Made for drinking in its youth
when the fruit is fresh and
bright, the aromatics and
tangy intensity of Sauvignon
Blanc are complemented by
the lifted citrus fruit aromas,
palate weight and texture of the
Semillon. A small component of
barrel fermentation and some
lees contact offers additional
complexity and texture to the
palate, finishing with a clean
crisp natural acidity.
Voyager Estate 2013 Chenin Blanc - $24.99
An easy-drinking aromatic white,
not complex or overly wooded.
But retaining vibrant ripe fruit
flavours. Lovely fresh aromatics,
fruit weight, natural acidity and a
touch of sweetness are typical of
Voyager Estate’s Chenin Blanc
style. Tropical fruit flavours of
papaya and melon with elements
of citrus and red apple create a
fruit-salad style palate.
2010 Girt by Sea Cabernet Merlot - $24.99
The exceptional 2010 vintage
resulted in a wine that displays
excellent concentration of
vibrant, summer berry, plum
and cherry fruit with soft, silky
tannins. With a nose of floral
berry fruit aromas and hints of
spice and vanillin tones, the
dusty cedar notes follow from
the fine-grained French oak.
The palate is perfect for this
season–a medium bodied wine
with lovely summer berry, cherry
and plum fruits.

“IT’S NOT EASY TO MAKE GREAT WINE
BUT IT’S IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU DON’T START
WITH GREAT FRUIT. OUR SITE IS UNIQUE.
WORLD WE COULD MAKE THESE WINES.”
THERE’S NOWHERE ELSE IN THE
10 SOVINO. LOVERS OF FINE WINES, CRAFT BEERS AND PREMIUM SPIRITS
In the past, southern New South Wales did not come immediately to mind when considering Australia’s wine regions, but the wines coming out of this cooler climate region are making real inroads of late, and winemakers like Jason Brown are at the forefront.
The “Most Successful Exhibitor” at this year’s Canberra Regional
Wine Show is understandably excited about the future of his two
vineyards in Young and Tumbarumba, after taking home five of the
12 trophies awarded at the show, along with a total of 19 awards for
wines from both of the Moppity vineyards. “It’s the most important
show in this part of Australia. Southern NSW is hot property
right now, producing wines of great elegance and refinement,”
says Jason.
It is perhaps fitting that Moppity cleaned up at the Canberra
awards, as Jason is a Canberra boy who grew up around the wine
industry. Apart from playing guitar and harbouring dreams of being
a rock musician, he spent his time learning all there was to learn
about wines. When the opportunity arose to realise the dream of
owning his own vineyard, he searched Australia-wide for a one that
was capable of making world class cool climate Shiraz. “In the end,
I chose the vineyard in the Hilltops–not just because I believed it
could make great Shiraz but also because it was under the radar,”
he says. “It’s not easy to make great wine but it’s impossible if you
don’t start with great fruit. Our site is unique. There’s nowhere else
in the world we could make these wines.”
Jason and wife Alecia have since discovered that the jewel in the
crown is the site itself. It’s at the highest elevation in the region.
The combination of aspect and free draining soil coupled with cool
days and warm nights produces elegant Shiraz with incredible
fragrance and spice. “It reminds me of Grampians but with a
delicious richness and generosity that speaks more of Barossa.
It’s a site that’s unique and really quite special. Great wines should
speak of their origins, and we work hard at expressing our unique
site through our wines,” says Jason.
In recent times, and following on from the success of the Young
vineyard, the opportunity arose to purchase the Tumbarumba
vineyard. Set at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, the coldest
viticultural region on mainland Australia is a remote, pristine
wilderness at the frontier of modern Australian winemaking.
“It was like buying the Beatles before they’d cut their first album,”
says Jason with obvious enthusiasm. “2012 was our first vintage in
control of the vineyard, and those Chardonnays have already won
a Trophy and six Gold medals. They’re expressive, delicate wines
of great finesse and precision, far more European in style than the
broad, oaky, buttery Chardonnays from the 80s and 90s that turned
so many people off.”
Of course, cool climate wine making is not without its challenges.
“Cool climate viticulture is a double-edged sword,” says Jason. “In
a good year the wines can be mind blowing. However, in a cold,
wet year you can lose the whole crop to frost or disease. We’ve
been fortunate to date, but these risks are ever present.”
It’s hard to believe that Jason and wife Alecia were contemplating
bankruptcy just five years ago; but when a winery they were selling
all their grapes to went into receivership, they knew they were in
serious trouble. “We had two little boys under three and faced
losing absolutely everything–that was a very difficult time for Alecia
and I,” says Jason. It is interesting to note that it was that event that
actually was the catalyst to the success that they now enjoy.
“We launched Lock & Key as a “value” range, to trade out of the
hole we’d been placed in.” It was an overnight success, and
achieved incredible results on the show circuit. They won “Best
New Brand Of The Year”, which translated into very strong sales
and have powered on since then. “Everything we’ve achieved was
really only possible because of that one event. That’s given us the
resources to make better wines.”

SUMMER ISSUE 13/14 11
Celebrating the Hardy heritageThe Hardys story began when English immigrant Thomas Hardy boarded a ship from Plymouth and arrived at Port Adelaide in 1853. Thomas’s first job was on a vineyard south of Adelaide owned by John Reynell.
After adventures on the goldfields of Victoria and time spent
cattle droving, Thomas returned to wine-making. He had saved
enough money to purchase land of his own, located on the River
Torrens just outside of Adelaide. It was here, on the property called
‘Bankside’, that the first ever vintage for Hardys was made in 1857.
Bankside was tragically destroyed by fire in 1904 and never rebuilt.
In 1873 Thomas Hardy purchased the Tintara winery in McLaren
Vale, building the region’s reputation for making some of the
world’s best Shiraz. In 1882, he made history by producing the first
Australian wine to be awarded the prestigious Gold medal at the
International Wine Show in Bordeaux. He repeated this feat in Paris
in 1889. These would be the first of many awards subsequently won
by Hardys wines.
Passionate, highly skilled and well-trained, members of the Hardy
family have dedicated years of their professional lives to elevating
the Hardys brand, producing fine wines that draw on fruit from
South Australia’s premier wine regions and from further afield. After
six generations and 160 years of winemaking for Hardys, the legacy
continues with the launch of the newest member of the Hardys wine
family – the William Hardy Range.
Named in honour of fifth-generation Hardys Brand Ambassador,
Bill Hardy, the new range has been created with a “right grapes
from the right regions” philosophy to complement the rest of the
Hardys portfolio.
The history of Hardys wines is a story of adventure, romance,
tragedy, ambition and indomitable spirit. This spirit of discovery, of
taking measured risks and dreaming big dreams has continued to
dominate in succeeding generations, and has, in many ways, lead
to the success of the brand today.

What do you love most about your job?
“We love interacting with our customers and finding out what they
want. We also love meeting winemakers and having the freedom to
choose whatever we think our customers will like.”
What is the product you sell most?
“Since Ainslie Cellars opened, the most growth we have seen
has been in our local and premium sections. At the moment,
we would have to say that we sell the most out of our Canberra
District Section. We have local wine tastings every Thursday
evening between 5.30 and 7.30 – more often than not, put on by the
winemakers themselves!”
What is the question you get asked most by customers?
“We get a lot of questions about food and wine pairing, and also a
lot of customers come in looking for something new to try.”
Who are some of your regulars and what do they typically buy?
“We have a very diverse clientele – ranging from tradies to
professionals and even discerning wine collectors.”
When is the busiest time in your store?
“Thursday and Friday nights, and Saturdays are pretty steady all
day. People tend to time their visits to the store to coincide with our
weekly tastings, so between 5.30 and 7.30 on these days tends to
be the busiest.”
What is the most unusual request you’ve ever had?
“We have many people from different cultures coming in to ask for
beverages from their homelands. We always do what we can, but
sometimes they can be a little hard to find!”
What’s your favourite end of the week tipple?
“We both really enjoy a nice cold glass of Riesling – 2012 Clare

Chambord is inspired by a unique raspberry
liqueur produced in the Loire Valley of
France during the late 17th century.
The liqueur was said to have been served
to King Louis XIV during one of his visits
to the Château de Chambord during his
reign. It was common during that time for
liqueurs and cognacs to be consumed with
elegant meals.
Today, Chambord is enjoyed throughout the
world. Embraced for its velvety rich taste
and versatility, Chambord works mixed with
champagne, with soda and lime, and as a
flavourful ingredient in cocktails.
The liqueur comes from an area dubbed
“the garden of France”, Cour Cheverny, in
the Loire Valley two hours south of Paris.
It is produced in a state-of-the-art facility
on the grounds of another magnificent
château, La Sistiere. Here, the master
blender supervises the blending of each
batch according to a 300-year-old tradition.
All natural ingredients are used, in a unique
three-step process. First, whole raspberries
and blackberries are blended, then steeped
in French spirits for several weeks to
achieve a rich, silky fruit infusion. This
infusion process produces a distinct natural
raspberry flavour and aroma.
The second step captures the remaining
flavours from the berries. The first infusion
is extracted and a second layer of spirits
is added to the fruit to obtain the final
nuances of the whole fruit blend. This
second infusion is allowed to rest for a few
weeks, then the infused spirit is drawn off
and the remaining fruit is delicately pressed
to obtain the natural sugars and juice. The
fruit-infused spirits and juices from the final
pressing are then combined to yield an
incredibly rich, natural berry infusion.
The final step is performed by the
Maitre Liquoriste (master blender). The
magnificent berry infusion is married with a
proprietary blend of cognac and all-natural
extracts of Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan
citrus peel, honey, delicate herbs and
spices, and black raspberry. The result
is a one-of-a-kind liqueur possessing
an unprecedented level of complexity,
flavour and aromas - Chambord Black
Raspberry Liqueur.
*Product available from participating stores.
From France comes a luscious liqueur that works brilliantly in cocktails, as well as being delicious all on its own. Called Chambord, after one of the most famous of the French châteaux, it’s not only
stylish and sophisticated, but is linked with royalty.

The overwhelming majority of the 140 vineyards and 36 wineries that make up the district are not actually situated in the ACT, but rather, pepper the countryside around our capital–in and around the NSW towns of Murrumbateman, Sutton and Bungendore–and one may argue that the name is a little misleading; but ultimately one would be incorrect. It is the existence of Canberra in the heart of this terrain that makes the region what it is, as it was actual Canberra residents that first planted vines here.
More interestingly, many of these Canberra residents were men
who had been employed in various scientific fields in the capital.
Doctor Edgar Riek and Ken Helm, both from CSIRO Division of
Entomology, Doctor John Kirk from the CSIRO Division of Plant
Industry, and Doctor Max Blake from the John Curtin School of
Medical Research, are listed amongst the pioneers of the district.
Perhaps as devotees of the scientific method, their emphasis on
careful study and analysis has left a legacy that has allowed the
region to get to where it is in such a short time (at one stage, Dr
Riek was experimenting with up to 40 different varieties of grape).
One cannot, however, discount the continental climate–very similar
to some of the finest in Europe–as a major contributing factor in the
rise of the region. In fact, when John Kirk first surveyed Canberra’s
surrounds, he was understandably surprised that there was no
established wine industry in a region that was obviously so well
suited to it. Vineyards in the region have a large altitudinal range
of 300 to 800 metres. Such a wide range in elevations, along with
varying soil types and temperature, gives rise to a wide range of
varieties – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese–and of course, the
two superstars of the region: Riesling and Shiraz. The latter is at
the heart of the all-conquering Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier that has
been referred to as “an icon wine, one of the best in Australia” by
none other than wine supremo James Halliday.
It is hard to write about the region without acknowledging the
legacy of these founding fathers. Even today, names like Ken Helm
continue to be at the forefront of the Canberra wine industry. He
Until recently, Canberra may not have been on the radar of the casual wine lover. Whilst there has been the odd attempt at growing wine grapes in the region for over a century, it has only been a serious affair since the early to mid 70s. Relatively new compared to far more established regions in South Australia, Victoria and the central coast of New South Wales, the Canberra District has been steadily gaining a reputation and is perhaps the region that in-the-know types now drop when asked what’s hot right now.

was recently was on hand to officiate as Chair of the Canberra
International Riesling Challenge; and to speak at the presentation
of a special ACT Government Centenary of Canberra Award to
Riesling Challenge founder, Edgar Riek. Tim Kirk (son of John) has
been acknowledged as an industry leader since his Cote-Rotie
influenced Shiraz Viognier stormed the scene in the late 90s; and
he has just been named Australian Winemaker of the Year by
Gourmet Traveller WINE magazine for 2013.
A number of new names, however, are standing up and being
noticed in the region of late, determined to keep up with the Kirks,
and armed with the mighty Canberra Shiraz and Riesling grapes.
Nick O’Leary is one of them. A man whose name is frequently on
the lips of most Canberra wine buffs, O’Leary saw his 2011 Shiraz
awarded a gold medal at the 2012 Canberra Regional Wine Show,
Royal Melbourne Wine Show, and National Wine Show of Australia.
O’Leary honed his skills at Hardy’s Kamberra Wine Complex under
Alex McKay, who now runs Collector Wines. In 2009, Collector
Wine– rated a 5 star winery from James Halliday–was named
Best New Winery in the Penguin Australian Wine Awards; and in
2010, McKay was a finalist for the 2010 Gourmet Traveller WINE
Winemaker of the Year.
Apart from the leaps and strides that have been made in the
quality of the product coming out of the region, it also makes
for a great weekend of wine tasting. There are over 30 boutique
cellar doors, most of them are only around a half hour drive from
Canberra, and some have excellent restaurant facilities as well.
Great dining spots in the region include Flint in the Vines at Shaw’s
Vineyards; Poachers Pantry–home of Wily Trout Wines–and Grazing
at Gundaroo amongst others. With the quality of wine and the
opportunities for lifestyle tourism on an upward trajectory–not
to mention the fact that the region is nestled tidily around an
increasingly cosmopolitan Canberra–the future is certainly looking
up for the Canberra District.

CANBERRA’S WINE DISTRICT
It may not be the champagne label that first springs to mind, but if you’re looking for something a little different for those celebratory moments, perhaps it’s time you discovered Champagne H.Blin.
Crafted from grapes grown in and around the little village
of Vincelles in the Marne Valley in France, H.Blin is made
predominantly from the Pinot Meunier grape, blended with
Pinot Noir for structure and Chardonnay for finesse. The result
is a champagne with elegant fruit and a zesty freshness,
a creamy texture and a longer-than-average finish.
Henri Blin, an established winemaker from a long line of
champagne growers, established the house of H.Blin in 1947.
It is now in the hands of his grandchildren, eighth generation
champagne growers.
The grapes, from their own vineyards, are grown using sustainable
farming methods that avoid the use of chemicals, maintain the
soil by ploughing and planting grass, and limit the loss of energy,
fuels and water. H. Blin is even exploring organic viticulture—a
pioneering venture in the Champagne area where just over 1% of
the 33,500 hectares of vineyards are organically farmed.
The wine-makers combine time-honoured traditions with modern
methods. The result is a lively and effervescent French champagne,
with the outstanding quality you’ve come to expect from the larger
champagne houses, but with a much smaller price tag. It’s the
perfect accompaniment to poultry, cold seafood and fruit-based
desserts, but also makes a great aperitif.

AUSSIES LOVE BYO! Whether it’s bringing a bottle to the local cheap-and-cheerful, or a six-pack of cold ones to a mate’s place on a warm
summer night, we embrace the idea wholeheartedly. It’s interesting to note that in many countries, asking an invited
guest to bring something along to drink may be seen as rude. But in Australia, it is a perfectly acceptable and much
loved ritual that not only typifies our laid back attitude to entertaining, but also demonstrates our egalitarianism and
willingness to pitch in. Yes, we like to roll our sleeves up and lend a hand; whether it’s helping a mate in need, or
contributing to the stocks of bevies at a get together – and as a bonus, we get to sip on our favourite choice of drink.
Speaking of favourites, here’s our choice of wines and beers to keep the party going at your next social gathering.
Endeavour Vintage 2013 Growers Bright Ale
Clear, pale and bright in the glass with a fine bead and good foamy head–perfect as a pre-meal
apéritif and also suited to fresh shellfish–the 2013 Galaxy hops give tropical fruit character to the
beer while the Vic Secret hops deliver spicy, mineral notes. There is an herbal element to this beer
but it is restrained and balanced with very light malts. Bitterness is kept in line with the light weight
of this beer to frame the hops and malt and to deliver a bright ale that is very true to style. It is a
refreshing, sessionable and very bright beer matched to any occasion.
$2199 ea
Cascade Bright Ale
Cascade Bright is made from 100% malt and uses a blend of three specially selected hops: Pride
of Ringwood for bitterness and both Galaxy and Cascades for aroma. Its golden hue is a result of
the crystal malt added to the mash. Cascade Bright Ale is easy-drinking, crisp and refreshing with
a subtle balance of fruit and floral aromas which come from the hops. Great with grilled meats, and
especially a burger and caramelised onions.
$1399 ea
James Squire “The Constable” Copper Ale
A deep golden English-style Ale, with a balanced nose of floral, citrus and earthy notes and a
moderate hop-bitterness that lingers after the firm malt backbone. Even though The Constable has
a lower ABV of 3.4%, the brew is an authentic full flavoured craft beer with a rich malt body and
distinctive earthy and fruity hop characteristics. Brewed in the style of an English Ordinary Bitter.

The makers of Cricketers Arms craft beer describe it as a ‘sessionable beer’. But what does this mean and where does the term come from?
Beer Advocate magazine defines a
‘session’ beer as one with an alcohol
content no higher than 5 per cent, with a
balance between malt and hop characters
and, typically, a clean finish – a combination
that gives it high drinkability.
They suggest that the term “session” may
refer to one of the two allowable drinking
periods of English pubs after WW1 –
originally 11am to 3pm and 7pm to 11pm.
A “session” beer was one that workers
could happily quaff for the duration of
a session.
Appropriately, Cricketers Arms is a beer
that makes a lot of sense when you’re
settling in for more than one. The name
speaks of the values of camaraderie,
sportsmanship and the great Australian
pastime – cricket.
First launched in 2009, Cricketers Arms
Lager is a Victorian-produced craft beer
developed under the helm of Master
Brewer, Dermot O’Donnell. It’s brewed with
less carbonation, using sun-dried Australian
Malt, and matches well with food, from fine
dining to barbeque. It’s the brew of choice
in many top-rank Melbourne restaurants
Originally produced by Mildura Brewery,
Cricketers Arms’ recent move to Asahi
Premium Beverages’ state of the art
Melbourne plant provided an opportunity
to produce two new refreshing selections:
India Pale Ale and Mid On (mid-strength
beer). This ultra-modern brewery ensures
an extra level of quality and freshness
(reflected in the evocative packaging)
but with the extra care that comes from
personal brewer supervision.
“For the first time, Cricketers Arms is being
brewed in Melbourne at one of the most
high-tech breweries in Australia.” says
its ambassador and creator, Paul Scott.
“Summer 2013/14 is set to be an exciting
period for Cricketers Arms.”

The Hills Cider Company had its origins in two
friends throwing around ideas after a couple
of drinks. The friends were Steve Dorman, a
qualified wine and cider maker, and Tobias Kline,
a hospitality manager and owner of a beverage
marketing and consulting firm. Unsurprisingly,
the conversation turned to cider and the two
remarked on a gap in the market for good ‘real’
Australian made and owned cider.
It was this that led them to establish the
company, with an aim to make the highest
quality craft products possible, while growing
sustainably and supporting local Australian
farmers. After tasting and analysing fruit from
orchard regions throughout Australia, they
decided on the Adelaide Hills, which produces
the best balance of acidity and sugar levels in the
fruit needed for the cider they wanted to create.
Steve and Tobias develop relationships with local
farmers, built on the premise of sustainability
and minimal intervention. Steve oversees every
step, from the use of any fertiliser to one-by-one
hand picking specifications. Because of Steve’s
background in winemaking, he employs a lot of
winemaking techniques to create this unique
cider style. For instance, he uses particular
yeast that brings out the natural fruit flavours
and aromas.
The cider is made from 100% fresh Adelaide
Hills apples or pears, with absolutely no added
sugar, concentrate, flavours – or even water. The
fresh juice is cold crushed, cold filtered and cold
fermented to decrease the impact on the natural
fruit. This preserves the floral notes, acidity and
structure. The same day the fruit is crushed, the
cider is put into cold ferment. Weekly small-batch
fermentations are then blended together to create
a level of consistency.
The Hills Cider is also made gluten free and
vegan friendly.
Since entering the market in 2010 the company
has won a string of awards including most
recently ‘Australia’s Best Pear Cider’ and
‘Champion Cider at Show’. This was the
first time the top award has been won by an
Australian producer.

perfume that complement the rich upfront

The Baileys soon settled on a nearby
property, Bundarra, and planted one of the
district’s first vineyards. The first vintage
was in 1870, establishing Baileys as one
of the pioneers of wine production in
North East Victoria, a region renowned for
producing intensely flavoured red wines
and luscious fortifieds.
During those early years, the Glenrowan
region was terrorised by the bushranger
Ned Kelly. Later, there was the plague of
phylloxera, a pest that wreaked havoc
on the local wine industry. Despite these
challenges, the Bailey family persisted,
replanting in 1904 on phylloxera-resistant
rootstock. The original 1904 Block,
planted with Shiraz, continues to produce
outstanding wines to this day.
When founder Richard Bailey produced
his first Shiraz at the Bundarra property,
he used a range of practices common
to producers at the time, such as open
fermentation. These processes contributed
their own subtle flavours. Since then, the
winemaking mantle has been passed on
from father to son through the generations.
Today Baileys of Glenrowan is a medium
sized winery of 143 hectares under vine.
All the grapes used to produce their wines
are grown in the Glenrowan vineyard and
all winemaking is completed on site. Grape
varieties include Rutherglen brown Muscat,
Shiraz, Durif, Cabernet Sauvignon, Topaque
and Merlot. Baileys produce both red and
dessert wines, including Muscat, Topaque
and the much acclaimed VP140, a modern
twist on the Vintage Port.
Chief Winemaker Paul Dahlenburg
continues to preserve the rich history and
tradition of this iconic Australian brand. For
example, the restored 100 year old basket
press is still in operation.
Paul and his team take the best of old
vineyard winemaking techniques and
combine them with modern winemaking
skills to produce a range of uniquely
Australian wines. These are rich, full-bodied
wines with fruit intensity, structure and
excellent cellaring potential, from some of
the oldest vines in Australia.
The entire vineyard has been Certified
Organic since 2011, and this year Baileys
of Glenrowan has proudly released its
first Organic Shiraz as a tribute to Richard
Bailey and his first Shiraz back in 1870.

Organic wine from Kelly Country
There’s a long history behind Baileys of Glenrowan. It all started in the 1860s, when Richard Bailey and his family, newly arrived in
Australia, set up a store in Glenrowan to supply miners on nearby goldfields. Right next door was the Anne Jones Inn where, in 1880,
the Kelly gang was to make its last stand.
