🌟 A trailblazing Australian take on a legendary Greek grape—zesty, mineral, and full of vibrant personality.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with green glints—crisp, clear, and shimmering with youthful energy.

👃 On the Nose:
Bright and expressive with notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach. Subtle hints of sea spray and flint give it a distinctly mineral edge, echoing its Santorini heritage.

👅 On the Palate:
Taut and refreshing with razor-sharp acidity and a mouthwatering texture. Flavours of citrus, grapefruit pith, and saline minerality glide across the palate, finishing long, dry, and bracingly clean.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A natural with oysters, grilled octopus, lemon-roasted chicken, or fresh Greek salads. Also a brilliant match for tempura or spicy Asian cuisine.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now for its crisp vibrancy, but will reward 5–8 years of cellaring with deeper complexity and a waxy, savoury evolution.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Jim Barry’s Assyrtiko is a bold leap from the Clare Valley—showcasing how this iconic Greek grape thrives in Australian soil. Taught, terroir-driven, and utterly refreshing, it’s a white wine lover’s dream: sharp, elegant, and unmistakably original.
