The late Jim Barry was a pioneer of the Australian wine industry. He was the first qualified winemaker to work in the Clare Valley of South Australia and with his wife, Nancy, built a successful wine business which has produced trophy-winning wines since its establishment in 1959. Today, the company is headed by Jim’s second son Peter, who took over from his father as Managing Director.

Deep claret red in colour, with inviting and complex aromas of sweet spice, vanilla, cedar wood, cassis, raspberry and fennel, giving way to a full bodied, vibrant palate of purple and red fruits, with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant and mulberry, with firm tannins and good acidity. Serve with hearty beef casserole or rack of lamb.
