Product Description
A powerful, full-bodied Australian Shiraz with iconic heritage
The Jim Barry Wines The Armagh Clare Valley Shiraz 2017 is an exceptional vintage from one of Australia’s most iconic single-vineyard sites. Made from 100% Shiraz grapes, this wine offers intense concentration, depth, and elegance.
Lifted aromas of rich blackberries, black cherries, mocha, and hints of wild herbs entice the senses. On the palate, it delivers a lush and structured profile featuring layers of dark fruit, mocha oak, fine tannins, and a subtle note of aniseed. Balanced and powerful, this Shiraz has remarkable length and cellaring potential.
The Armagh Vineyard, established in 1968 by Jim Barry, sits in the rolling hills of Clare Valley, named after the Irish settlers’ homeland. This vintage reflects the terroir's exceptional character and Jim Barry’s vision.

| Winery | 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. |
