Jim Barry Clare Valley Riesling 2019
Clare Valley
Jim Barry is a winemaking legend – an icon of Australia's Clare Valley. That's where he started his winery and where his son and grandsons now take on the mantle. Riesling is their top grape and this pure, dry, lime-fresh white is the real deal.

Jim Barry won the much coveted Australian Winery of the Year award 2020. Just one of a huge line-up of prizes this cellar has won. The original Jim Barry passed his oenology degree in 1947, just the 17th person to do so at the famous Roseworthy College. He worked in the region, and bought his first vineyard in 1959. It was his drive and community spirit that made Clare Valley a premium wine region and Riesling its finest grape. Jim Barry is today run by the second and third generations. They have some of the finest plots in the Valley, including the Armagh, Florita and Lodge Hill vineyards. Pure lime fruit with crisp minerality, this white is delicious sipped solo or with seafood too – panfried fish, spicy seafood or Thai green curry.
