Jim Barry Watervale Riesling 2024 delivers a pristine expression of one of Australia’s most revered terroirs for Riesling, sourced from a special parcel within the famed Florita vineyard in Watervale, Clare Valley. The 2024 vintage captures all the hallmarks of this renowned site—elevated natural acidity, brilliant aromatics, and crystalline fruit purity.

Bursting from the glass are explosive aromas of jasmine blossom, preserved lemon, and zesty lime. The palate is spritely and tightly structured, centred around a vibrant lime citrus core. Subtle notes of white peach and lemon zest round out the profile, with a lingering finish that speaks to both quality and pedigree. Its clarity and energy are matched by finesse, making it a classic Clare Riesling that shines in youth and promises graceful aging for a decade or more.

This release continues the legacy of excellence established by Jim Barry Wines—a 5 Red Star Halliday-rated winery and former James Halliday Winery of the Year—and follows a string of top accolades for previous vintages, including Gold and Trophy wins at the Royal Melbourne, Royal Hobart, and Clare Valley Wine Shows.
