Jim Barry Assyrtiko 2025

Description

Product Description:An invigorating translation of a Greek classic in Clare Valley’s cool air. The Jim Barry Assyrtiko 2025 continues the family’s pioneering work with this Santorini-rooted variety, planted in the Lodge Hill Vineyard. Bright and dry by design, it balances crisp citrus, lean stone fruit and a refined mineral streak that nods to its volcanic origins. The vibrant acidity and silky texture reflect Clare Valley’s altitude and climate, delivering a wine that feels both electric and grounded. This bottling is built on precision. The fruit is harvested to retain freshness, then gently handled to preserve purity and expression. The result is an Assyrtiko shaped as much by structure as aromatics. It’s clean, taut and mineral, without weight. A wine that finds harmony in restraint, making it a compelling pairing with dishes like grilled seafood, fresh goat’s cheese or lemony roasted vegetables.
