The story of Riesling in Australia is as old as the wine industry itself. The famed Florita Vineyard is synonymous with the classic grape variety and was established by Leo Buring in 1962. In 1986 the Barry family acquired the 80 acre property and began to write the next chapter in the famous vineyard's history. Opens with powerful floral aromas of rose water, citrus blossom, pear and lime. A wine with an eye to the future. Tightly wound within clean, straight acidity. Exhibits pure lime fruit with a long citrusy finish.

Aromas of lemon, grapefruit juice, brown lime and white flowers combine with a lick of mineral and wet slate on the nose. The palate is refreshing, with flavours of grapefruit and citrus rind with a white floral lift. The fruit weight shows the hallmarks of Watervale Riesling with zesty acidity, that gives line but still allows a sense of generosity.

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)

The Lodge Hill vineyard is a masterstroke of the Jim Barry range of wines. Adding yet another layer of complexity to this producer's arsenal, Lodge Hill (at 480m) is one of the highest vineyards in the Clare, and sends down a bath of chocolate infused blackberries with liquorice spice. A gorgeous wine.

This is the flagship Cabernet of the Jim Barry stable. Ripe black fruits combined with a beautifully distinct earth, leather aromas with hints of dried fruits and sweet mulch.

Jim Barry is a master of Riesling and this 2014 vintage won't disappoint. It opens with aromas of lifted spice, orange blossom and lime. This offers a huge volume of flavour of grapefruit, lime and spice, with a palate that exhibits great line and drive. There is a creaminess to the palate balanced by the crisp acidity on the finish.

Deep crimson. Classical blackberry, praline, ginger, sage aromas with mocha oak notes. Luxurious blackberry pastille, blackcurrant, black cherry fruits, superb fine chocolatey/velvet tannins and beautifully balanced mocha/vanilla/smoky oak notes. Finishes velvety/gravelly firm with raspberry, graphite/bush garrigue notes. A hugely impressive long-lasting Clare Valley Shiraz with lovely fruit definition, density and vigour.
