I needed to make a wine that my wife likes, and she enjoys ones that have what she calls "drama". At the same time I have grown tired of aggressive, green Sauvignon Blancs and therefore tried to steer a middle course. The "La Barry" has delicate floral fruit with underlying grassier tones, but is unthreatening enough to keep coming back for another glass. La What? Named after my wife Leigh Ann Barry, for whom this wine was made as a wedding gift. It has also been referred to as "La Barry Lobola". This is the fourth vintage and initial feedback from my wife is very favaourable!
Perfect as aperitif, or match up with delicate dishes like fresh seafood salads, oysters and even tuna tartare with a very subtle wasabi sauce.
