Description
Jim Barry was the first to plant Assyrtiko in Australia, bringing cuttings over from Santorini back in 2011 and betting that Clare Valley’s dry, rocky soils could do the grape justice. He was right. What started as an experiment has become one of the country’s most distinctive modern white wines.
The 2025 vintage continues that run. Grown on the Barry family’s Lodge Hill vineyard, the fruit is hand-picked and cool-fermented in stainless steel to keep things tight and crisp. The result is clean, bone-dry and mineral – a white with real shape and texture, more about structure than fruit.
It’s packed with lemon zest, green apple and sea-spray notes, finishing long and savoury. Sharp enough to cut through anything on the table but still rounded enough to enjoy on its own. A proper Clare Valley success story – Greek in spirit, Australian in execution.

This is a really lovely white wine. I bought the 2022 duty free at Sydney airport , loved it so much I bought a case of the 2024 cause 8 couldn’t find 2022 in stock and it just as nice .

The bright acidity and complex flavours, reminiscent of both Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, make it an ideal wine to serve with seafood.

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.
