For $20, Jim Barry’s Watervale riesling from the Clare Valley in Australia provides excellent and typical drinking at a modest price. Their 2023 Watervale riesling has aromas of lime and lime juice, with a slight herbal underlay. The palate is light to medium bodied, dry and high acidity frames its dry finish. The alcohol is a modest 12.0. I have reviewed Jim Barry’s wines over a number of years now. They rarely miss. Rating: Good to Very Good (★★★☆, 89 points). Website: Jim Barry. Tasted: June 2024.
