The 2025 Jim Barry Single Vineyard “The Farm” Riesling is a vibrant and precise Clare Valley Riesling, sourced from a dedicated estate vineyard that showcases the region’s hallmark purity and intensity. Known for its cool climate influence and limestone-rich soils, Clare Valley delivers Rieslings of exceptional aromatic lift and crisp structure, and this single-vineyard expression highlights both site character and winemaking precision. The nose is bright and expressive, featuring lifted aromas of lime zest, green apple and lemon blossom, layered with hints of citrus peel, wet stone and a delicate floral note. There is a classic mineral edge that adds freshness and complexity.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and tightly structured, driven by zesty citrus flavours of lime and grapefruit, complemented by crisp green apple and subtle herbal nuances. The acidity is sharp and refreshing, giving the wine excellent tension and length, while the finish is clean, dry and lingering with a distinct mineral backbone. The style is youthful, energetic and focused, with the potential to develop additional complexity over time.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout example of Clare Valley Riesling and perfect for customers who enjoy crisp, aromatic white wines with high freshness and precision. It’s an excellent choice for warm weather and pairs beautifully with seafood, fresh salads, sushi or spicy Asian dishes. Drink now for its vibrant fruit or cellar for 8–12 years to develop classic Riesling complexity with toast and honeyed notes.
