Jim Barry Wines
On the southern boundary of Coonawarra is the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of local champions in 1950.Jim Barry always had an affection for Coonawarra and the regions fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon fruit, so when the property went on the market, the opportunity to transform it into a vineyard was too good to miss. To preserve a little piece of Coonawarra cricketing history, the original pavilion was retained and the vines were planted around the cricket pitch.

Vinification Details
All harvesting decisions were based on tasting the fruit in the vineyard. The grapes were crushed and destemmed before fermentation in stainless steel fermenters with heading down boards, which submerge the skins in the fermenting must. This moderates the temperature of the fermenting skins or 'cap' while gently extracting colour, flavour and tannins. Pump-overs were conducted twice per day with a rack and return taking place daily during the early stages. Fermentation lasted seven to 10 days before being pressed. Malolactic conversion took place in tank before the wine was racked to French oak for 12 months' maturation.
