What to expect
You'll move through Jim Barry's tasting room encountering nine distinct wines that chart the winery's range. Start with sparkling Pinot Noir to settle in, then shift to white wines—a Greek-style Assyrtiko alongside two Riesling releases from the same vineyard at different ages. The red section introduces single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and blended reds, finishing with their flagship Shiraz. The pace allows time to understand each wine's source and vintage story. Staff will guide you through the Clare Valley terroir that shapes these wines.
