Those who know cricket will be aware of the fielding position called ‘Silly Mid On’. Close to the batsman, requiring very good reflexes and always at risk of being struck by the ball off the bat, this wine is a reflection of this. This release of ‘Silly Mid On’ Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon is a blend of three components; Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc , Clare Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Clare Valley Semillon . The premium Clare fruit was sourced from the Jim Barry vineyards and the Adelaide Hills fruit was courtesy of friends in the Adelaide Hills. This wine is a brilliant pale straw in colour, with enticing aromas of cut grass, lychees and Chinese fruits. The flavours are zesty and refreshing, full of tropical fruit, with hints of lime, citrus and lychees. The palate shows excellent length and a crisp finish. (6 x 75 cl)

JimBarry THE COVER DRIVE Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Description: Situated in the cool uplands of the North Mount Lofty ranges about 50 km north of Adelaide, the vineyards of JimBarry were established in Clare in 1959. This is a family run winery committed to producing quality wines through an innovative approach to viticulture and winemaking technology. As a result of this in Jimbarry purchased great vine growing land on the southern boundary of Coonawarra. It was formally the old Penola cricket ground, which first saw a ball bowled in anger and the flashing cover drives of the local champions in 1950. Sadly, the ground closed in 1996 and soon afterwards JimBarry purchased the 30 acre property and planted a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. However, the original pavilion and pitch have been retained, thus preserving an important piece of Coonawarra sporting history. Fruit from this vineyard, along with selected parcels of fruit from JimBarry's other family owned Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Clare Valley have been blended to produce a wine that is rich, soft and approachable. Fruit from the Clare Valley and Coonawarra have been used to produce a dark red coloured wine with ripe blackberry, mint and sweet oak aromas. The palate is rich and full bodied with ripe, sweet blackberry and mint flavours, while it shows firm, but finely grained tannins complemented by a lingering finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £66.89
