Cricket lovers will be familiar with that catchy position, Silly Mid On, close to the batsman, requiring razor sharp reflexes. This appetising fresh white has less of the razor and more of a creamy edge underscoring its bright lemon and passion fruit notes. It's the dream partnership behind many top Bordeaux whites. This beautifully balanced white is from the Jim Barry cellar, one of the greatest names in the Clare Valley. They've decided to focus on their legendary reds – you may have heard of The Armagh or McCrae Wood Shiraz – so they've stopped making this refreshing beauty. A shame when the cooler climate of the Clare Valley brings out the fruit and freshness, aroma and zip of this wine. Perfect solo, with spicy seafood or creamy pasta.
