The Story Behind the Bottle
Jim Barry is a legend of Australian wine, regularly awarded 5 red stars by Halliday and a former Australian Winery of the Year. Just one of a huge line up of prizes the cellar has won since its foundation. The original Jim Barry and his wife Nancy bought nearly 30 hectares of prime farmland from their friend Duncan McRae Wood in 1964 and planted their first Shiraz vineyard. They have been key in the Clare Valley gaining its premium reputation for Riesling and Shiraz. Today the winery is run by the 2nd and 3rd generations. Peter Barry first tasted Assyrtiko in 2006 when on holiday in Santorini with his wife. Impressed, he started the process of importing it, planting his first vineyard in 2012. Delightful pure fruit and freshness.
