- Complex and intense aromas of rich dark fruit, sweet spice, dark chocolate, and dried herbs lead to a palate of concentrated dark fruit flavours. Fine tannins envelop the abundance of fruit. This is a wine of great power, length, and poise.
The iconic 'Armagh' vineyard was named by the original Irish settlers who arrived in 1849 and called the lush, rolling hills after their homeland. In 1968, the vineyard was purchased by Jim Barry, who planted it with Shiraz. Today, these low yielding vines produce less than 27 hectolitres per hectare. The soil is sandy gravel and receives an average rainfall of 600 millimetres annually. The vineyard lies on a northwest-facing slope, which acts as a natural sun trap, ensuring the fruit is always fully ripened at harvest time. The Clare Valley climate is continental with a high diurnal temperature difference, producing Shiraz with evenly ripened tannins and flavour.

| Winery | Certain names resonate strongly within Australian wine history, and Jim Barry is one of them. It was Jim Barry’s drive that helped shape South Australia’s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world-class Riesling and cemented it as one of Australia’s premier wine regions. Jim was the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, graduating with a degree in oenology from the prestigious Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1947. Founded in 1959, Jim Barry Wines is still family-owned, with three generations of Roseworthy graduates. Jim’s son Peter became managing director in 1985, and today, Peter’s children, Sam and Olivia, are the winemakers, commercial managers and brand ambassadors, respectively. Voted ‘2020 Winery of the Year' at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards, they produce highly acclaimed and award-winning wines. |
