Description

Clos Clare is a Clare Valley venture owned by the famous Barry family, and run by the youngest generation of Barrys, Tom and Sam.

They purchased the iconic Clos Clare vineyard in 2008 and have since taken both the Rieslings and recently added reds to a previously unmatched level of quality.

This release is again an absolute steal for the price for lovers of quality Clare Riesling, all fragrant florals and citrus, and not a hard edge in sight. Mouthwateringly delightful.

"A crisp and crackling riesling with just a touch of body, some quiet, nutty savoury elements, a good drive of citrusy freshness and tang. A bit of green herb and snow pea snap to the wine, too. It fits the varietal definitions; it provides freshness and feels well balanced in its elements. A little shrill twang through the finish is the only quibble. At the price, you should be happy with this."

Gorgeous wine

As the third generation of the Barry winemaking family, we now hold the keys to this boutique winery. Riesling is the Clare Valley’s signature variety and this is our ninth vintage from clos Clare’s Riesling patch, adjoining the historic ‘Florita’ vineyard in Watervale.

Aromas of white flowers, citrus, wet stone, and grapefruit flesh.
The palate is lively, with lime, mandarine and grapefruit flavours, a zippy acid drive with bath salts and stone fruits on the finish.

Clos Clare

The Barry Brothers, Sam and Tom, are on a roll at the moment, taking home the Winery of the Year award in the 2020 Halliday Wine Companion under the banner of their family estate, Jim Barry Wines.

Clos Clare gives them a chance to express their own winemaking styles without the expectation of the Jim Barry label. a single site that they have owned since 2008 is the source of these wines.

They are modern, delicious, approachable now and offer great value for money.

Sam, Tom and their Father, Peter Barry - Clare Valley, SA Clos Clare

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
