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.
In 1964 Jim Barry, and his wife Nancy, purchased 70 acres of prime farmland from their friend and neighbour, Duncan McRae Wood. On this special site they planted their first Shiraz vineyard. The McRae Wood Shiraz is made from grapes declassified from The Armagh and blended with fruit from special parcels from the family’s other Clare Valley vineyards. Rich and intense, it was considered a modern and innovative style of wine, when it was first released in 1992. It was Jim Barry’s drive and community spirit that helped shape South Australia’s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world class Riesling and cemented its place as one of Australia’s premier wine regions.
