Description

Certain names resonate strongly within Australian wine history and Jim Barry is one of them. It was Jim Barry’s drive that helped shape South Australia’s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world class Riesling and cemented it as one of Australia’s premier wine regions. Jim was the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, graduating with a degree in oenology from the prestigious Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1947. Founded in 1959, Jim Barry Wines is still family owned, with three generations of Roseworthy graduates. Jim’s son Peter became managing director in 1985 and today Peter’s children Tom, Sam and Olivia are the winemaker, commercial manager and brand ambassador respectively. Voted ‘2020 Winery of the Year’ at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards, they produce highly acclaimed, award-winning wines.

The grapes were destemmed, sorted and gently crushed, allowing a small proportion of whole berries to pass through. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel fermenters with heading down boards, which submerged the skins in the fermenting must and gently extracted colour, flavour and tannins. Pump-overs were conducted twice per day, with a rack and return each day. Fermentation lasted for seven to nine days before being pressed. 1/3 of the grapes were co-fermented with 15% whole-bunch fruit to impart complexity and aromatic lift. Malolactic conversion took place in 100% French oak, encouraging a seamless integration, where it was aged for 12 months.
