"93 POINTS. Simply – a belter. Really pretty floral and citrus driven aromatics, a touch of lavender in there and a bit of talc. Palate is bright and vibrant, zingy, zesty and clean. Great crunch of acid and a lemony lift, some spice and a trace of chalky mineral appeal. Quenches thirst, has crackling structure, finishes long and just a faint kiss of honeysuckle sweetness. Geez this is good drinking, saddle up for summer. Or now." - Mike Bennie.
This Jim Barry Riesling is classic Watervale—lemons, limes and a wonderfully clean, crisp finish. Just like a deliciously fresh party in your mouth. Enjoy!
One of the most amazing areas for this varietal. The wine is the colour of pale straw, it exudes delightful aromas of grapefruit, lemon and citrus blossom. The palate is delicately structured, with fresh and intense fruit and a long, crisp acid finish. Delicious with a wide variety of foods, including seafood, chicken Caesar, and all warm or cold salads. A wine which exhibits both, true finesse at winecraft, and a quenching gluggability.
Situated in the cool uplands of the North Mount Lofty ranges about 50 km north of Adelaide, the vineyards of Jim Barry were established in Clare in 1959. This is a family run winery committed to producing quality wines through an innovative approach to viticulture and winemaking technology.
The late Jim Barry was a pioneer of the Australian wine industry. He was the first qualified winemaker to work in the Clare Valley of South Australia and with his wife, Nancy, built a successful wine business which has produced trophy-winning wines since its establishment in 1959. Today, the company is headed by Jim’s second son Peter, who took over from his father as Managing Director.
