Product Description
Discover the elegance and complexity of the Jim Barry The McRae Wood Shiraz 2017, a standout vintage from Clare Valley, South Australia. Crafted with precision and aged to perfection, this bold red wine showcases vibrant aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and perfumed violets, beautifully layered with subtle hints of toasty vanillin oak.
On the palate, it offers a seamless balance of richness and restraint—dark forest fruits and spiced fruitcake notes wrapped in a fine web of earthy undertones. The finish is long and expressive, driven by silky, well-integrated tannins and a deep core of flavour. An ideal bottle for cellaring or enjoying now with robust dishes.

| Winery | In 1964, Jim purchased 28 hectares of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape variety and location. The vineyard is characterised by grey sandy topsoil over a clay subsoil. The vines are trained on a single cordon to promote an even canopy and provide optimal shade. The Clare Valley has a high diurnal temperature difference; the cool nights allow the vines to retain balancing acidity, producing an elegant style of Shiraz. |
