Jim Barry Watervale Riesling 2024

29 Oct

This is a world class riesling at a better-than-fair price. Indeed this wine is so good and so reasonably priced on such a regular basis that it was described on The Winefront site as “a national treasure”. It was also described there as “frisky and delicious”. It’s a dry riesling with a distinct juiciness to the lemon-and-lime fruit flavour and edges of lemongrass and steel. Basically it’s Clare Valley riesling on a platter and would be the perfect go-to refreshing white wine for this coming summer.

Price: AU $22.

But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
