Tasting Note

Lifted citrus blossom and lemon aromas are accompanied by notes of honeydew melon and spice. This Assyrtiko shows great flavour concentration and a full texture, with a flinty streak of minerality. Lively and crisp with an endless finish.

Product Notes

Jim Barry Assyrtiko wine is a captivating expression of its Greek origins, reinterpreted in Australia's Clare Valley. Exhibiting a bright, light straw hue, it opens with inviting aromatic notes of fresh lemon, white peach and delicate florals. The tantalising palate carries a vivacious blend of crisp citrus and salty mineral undertones. This wine's prominent natural acidity is balanced by a textural mid-palate fullness, culminating in a pleasantly long finish. An ideal companion for seafood, Jim Barry's Assyrtiko is a splendid example of winemaking innovation transcending geographical frontiers to create a distinctively refreshing and refined wine.
