Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of fresh white peach, lime juice, and white florals with wet slate and minerally notes. A powerful Riesling with upfront lime leaf, followed by lime juice, white stone fruit and wet slate, all finishing with mouth-watering acidity. A wine built for the ages.

Professional Ratings

  • 97
    Super-fresh and intense with lime peel, lime juice and sweetly floral fragrance on offer. This is impressively crisp in the mouth and has a taut, fine yet powerful stance, driving pure lime flavors long. Acidity is a feature. Drink or hold.
  • 91
    A classic Clare Valley Riesling with petrol and flinty minerals on the nose, in addition to waxy green apple, lime and a touch of earthiness. Green fruits and a hint of beeswax on the bone-dry palate, with salinity and a solid streak of acidity as the backbone. A reliable pairing partner for seafood and light salad.

Jim Barry, Australia
Jim Barry Winery Video

From the heart of South Australia, Jim Barry was a legendary and beloved Clare Valley identity. Since 1959, Jim Barry Wines reflect the Barry family's commitment to making table wines with an emphasis on quality and enjoyment. Jim Barry's philosophy of winemaking was very simple: own the vineyards to develop the best fruit flavors possible and retain these flavors during winemaking. The rich, full-bodied Jim Barry wines distinctly embody this simple winemaking philosophy.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

Clare Valley Wine

South Australia

View all products

The Clare Valley is actually a series of narrow north to south valleys, each with a different soil type and slightly different weather patterns along their stretch. In the southern heartland between Watervale and Auburn, there is mainly a crumbled, red clay loam soil called terra rossa and cool breezes come in from Gulf St. Vincent. A few miles north, in Polish Hill, is soft, red loam over clay; westerlies blowing in from the Spencer Gulf influece this area's climate.

The differences in soil, elevation, degree of slope and weather enable the region to produce some of Australia’s finest, aromatic, spicy and lime-pithy Rieslings, as well as excellent Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec with ripe plummy fruit, good acid and big structure.

Clare Valley is an isolated farming country with a continental climate known for its warm and sunny days, followed by cool nights—perfect for wine grapes’ development of sugar and phenolic ripeness in conjunction with notable acidity levels.
