Jim Barry Single Vineyard Kirribilli Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Clare Valley’s Jim Barry is a name known around the world – a byword for quality and wine expertise. A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, the Barry family celebrated the 60th anniversary of its winery in 2020, the year it also scooped the title of Halliday’s ‘Winery of the Year’. Over three generations the Barry name has been famous throughout the wine world and synonymous with the Clare Valley. Jim Barry bought his first vineyard here in 1959, and even helped the Taylor family open their winery a decade later. Son Peter took over Jim Barry in 1985, and today brothers Tom and Sam, with sister Olivia, have raised the bar even higher. Though their roots are in Clare, they also have vineyards in other prime wine growing areas, including an exceptional plot in Coonawarra, the ‘Kirribilli’ vineyard, planted to Cabernet. Enjoy textbook Coonawarra Cabernet, with cassis and pencil shaving aromas quickly joined by blackcurrant, blackberry, vanilla, liquorice and later a hint of mint, and fine, gravelly tannins. Its Gold-wqinning quality is evident in every sip.
