Watervale Shiraz, Jim Barry Wines 2018

  Since 1959, the Barry family have farmed grapes & made wine in the Clare Valley. Proponents of making top Riesling, there are some exceptional wines coming out of the estate. A recent visit from the two brothers Tom & Sam combined with a broad tasting demonstrated the quality at hand. 

What a great example of cool climate Australian Shiraz. Very elegant, pretty even. Lovely ripe fruit but so well kept in check with herbaceous notes and a distinct earthiness. Has definitely come together well with extended bottle ageing, one to snag!
