Description
In 2012 Jim Barry Lodge Hill Vineyard was the first site in Australia to be planted with indigenous vines of Santorini. Assyrtiko vine thrives in nutrient-deprived, volcanic soils and exposed conditions with little rainfall. By contrast, Clare Valley in South Australia has a very mild climate, but the reality of climate change and water scarcity means the drought tolerant Assyrtiko is ideally suited. Retaining acid and freshness during the warm and dry growing periods, allowing for a vibrant expression of this Old World classic. 10% of the juice is fermented in oak and aged on its lees before blending with the rest of the wine, giving depth to its texture and complexity. With aromas of fresh citrus and herbs, this fruity wine is complimented by clean acidity and slightly salty notes. A wonderful pairing for fresh fish dishes, roasted vegetables and chargrilled white meats.
