We are proud to share this special partnership between Jim Barry Wines and The McGrath Foundation.

Our lives have been touched by breast cancer and we are committed to supporting the McGrath Foundations goal of having a specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurse available to all families experiencing breast cancer in Australia.

The Jim Barry McCrae Wood is a fine example of the bold Clare Valley Shiraz style. Intense and concentrated, it is well worth putting away for five years at least!

Jim Barry Watervale Riesling from the Clare Valley is all about the musk, bracing acidity and juicy limes. This perennial favourite Riesling never misses a beat, marrying concentration with finesse, current drinking pleasure with cellar-worthy wow factor. Expect this wine to develop over ten years into a superb wine experience.

Malbec was one of the first varieties Jim Barry encouraged in the region, believing it could play a major role in Clare Valley’s red wine future. While it often plays a supporting role in blends, Block 81 has always been unique, with a personality so bold that, in exceptional vintages, the Malbec stands alone as a single-variety wine. Located in the southeast corner of Spring Farm, Block 81 is a site that consistently produces small, concentrated berries—perfect for crafting a wine with depth and structure. In 2021, this vineyard gave us just 600 litres of an inky, chewy Malbec that captures everything Jim Barry saw in the grape decades ago. On the nose, it’s a heady mix of pomegranate, dried rose petals, and chocolate box aromas, while the palate delivers a muscular hit of blackberry, red plum, and salted liquorice. There’s a savoury edge too—dried mint and sage leaf, adding layers of complexity to an already striking wine. This is a rare and exciting glimpse into the variety’s potential in Clare Valley, a wine that showcases power with grace. 96 Points"This is a superb rendition of Malbec. It is succulent and chewy. Tasting it alongside the Spring Farm Cabernet, one can’t help but wonder at the magic that could have been possible with a blend of the two."– Erin Larkin (Wine Advocate) 96 Points"A Very Fancy Malbec... It feels fancy from hello, and we’re given an insight into elegance and poise from this variety. Impressive."– Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)

Wine has been flowing in the Clare Valley since 1851 and is an integral part of the culture. A small area, accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production, it is one of Australia’s most prestigious premium wine regions, most famous for its Riesling and Shiraz. With its beautiful rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall, and Mediterranean climate, the Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage. The tiny village of Watervale (population 246), nestled at the southern end of the Clare Valley, is best known for its world-class Riesling, but it also produces exceptional shiraz. Our Watervale Shiraz is sourced from our estate vineyards in and around the village, where the cool nights and ancient soils contribute to a wine of lifted aromatics, fine tannins, and vibrant fruit.
