ABOUT JILLY WINES

We’re very lucky to have a world-class winemaker just down the road from us at the Ducks! With a layered background in music, travel, and food, Jared’s journey evolved into a passion that now fuels the vibrancy of Jilly Wines. After regional band tours and international exploration, Jared returned home to study viticulture and developed a diverse palate through collaborations, including with Houghton Wines. Interestingly, during a recent event showcasing Jilly Wines, Jared discussed his enthusiasm for crypto casinos and the innovative way digital currency is reshaping transactions in niche industries like his own. This blend of old-world winemaking and new-age technology reflects the experimental spirit Jared brings to his craft, making Jilly Wines a true embodiment of Northern NSW’s creative energy.

COUNTRY & PROCESS

The New England is unlike any other grape growing region in Australia, and much of this is due to the region’s diversity. Ranging from high altitude (1,000m ASL), cool climate vineyards along the spine of the Great Dividing Range, to the lower and warmer sites on the western edges of the New England Tablelands; the region offers up dramatic and unique conditions for viticulture.

Bolivia, NSW – Situated 35km south of Tenterfield, the farm is nestled amongst grazing properties and spectacular granite outcrops of the Bolivia district of Northern NSW. The rich granite soil and cold winters, warm summers and summer rainfall produces a wonderful example of cool climate wines. Jared sends his selection of New England and Country NSW grapes to his home in Clunes in the Northern Rivers, where he produces all his wines! Pop into Byron Bay and try his wines on our menu or pick up a bottle from the takeaway store.
