Here’s a new stall to discover at the Mullum Farmers Market this season, and it’s bringing a taste of Clunes’ creative, small-batch spirit to your Friday mornings. Say hello to Jilly Wines, the handcrafted label by winemaker Jared ‘The Lone Ranger’ Dixon.
From his off-grid, solar-powered winery in Clunes, Jared makes wines that are vibrant, expressive, and full of character. Using minimal-intervention techniques, he lets the fruit and the land tell the story, resulting in bright whites, playful rosés, and soulful reds that perfectly capture the Northern Rivers vibe. They’ve just blended up their new market red – a shiraz co-fermented with a tickle of gewürztraminer to lift the aromatics – and it’s absolutely delicious.
You’ll find the lovely Jerome at the stall each week, ready to help you choose the perfect bottle, or share the story behind Jilly Wines’ sustainable winemaking approach. And alongside the wines, don’t miss their small-batch brandy: smooth, warming, and a perfect Christmas present for the wine lover (or brandy fan) in your life.
And if you’d like to experience where it all comes together, the Jilly Wines cellar door will be opening in February 2026 at 1566 Bangalow Road, Clunes, offering tastings, local food, and a behind-the-scenes look at their solar-powered winemaking in action.
So next Friday morning at the Mullum Farmers Market, be sure to pop in, see the selection on sale, and stock up for the festive season!
Jilly Wines is at Mullum Farmers Market every Friday from 7am to 11am.
