ADD TO FAVOURITES

Assyrtiko is the white grape variety native to Santorini in Greece. It was on vacation here that Peter Barry discovered the variety and thought it may suit his vineyards back in the Clare Valley. On returning home and making enquiries he found that there was no Assyrtiko growing there, so he set about importing and establishing rootstock. Made as a fresh, dry white. Maybe think a softly textured dry Riesling. Flavours of lemon blossom, honeydew melon with a lovely mineral purity. Intriguingly different and very good.

Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Bursting with white peach, old-fashioned lemonade and juicy citrus, this wine shows vibrant and refreshing fruit intensity. Layers of peach, just-ripe stone fruits and hints of fresh strawberry make for an explosion of flavour. Plush and rounded with a beautiful, mouth watering salty finish- this is one of our best vintages yet."

Reviews for the 2024 vintage below…

93/100 JamesSuckling.com (2024 Vintage)
"Crisp, mineral and chalky, showing aromas of citrus, white flowers and sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a mouthwatering finish."

93/100 Mike Bennie, James Halliday's Wine Companion (2024 Vintage)
"An appealing white wine of gentle savouriness, brightness of fruit alongside that, floral lift and saline minerality. Yes thanks. It feels quite racy in texture but there's oatmeal and ginger biscuit qualities under tart lime and green apple fruitiness. The perfume is loaded with citrus blossom florals, sea spray, lime and ginger. A racy finish lends ultimate freshness. A very good vibe here."

Jim Barry Wines, a name synonymous with excellence in the Australian wine industry, is deeply rooted in the Clare Valley and Coonawarra regions. With a philosophy centred on vineyard ownership, the Barry family ensures that the quality of their wines begins in the vineyard. By meticulously managing 17 vineyards in the Clare Valley and two in the Coonawarra, they produce grapes of exceptional quality, leading to wines of unparalleled flavour and character.

The Armagh Vineyard, known for its Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, yields small-berried, intensely flavoured grapes. Meanwhile, the Florita Vineyard is famed for its Riesling, offering a blend of historical significance and rich, concentrated flavours. The Lodge Hill Vineyard's unique soil profiles provide the ideal environment for low-yielding vines, producing wines with intense flavours and fine structure. Additionally, the Old Penola Cricket Ground Vineyard in Coonawarra contributes to their lineup with its Terra Rossa soil, perfect for crafting premium Cabernet Sauvignon.

These vineyards form the foundation of Jim Barry Wines, where each bottle reflects the dedication to quality and tradition that defines the Barry family’s winemaking legacy.
