The fruit for this comes from the famed Armagh vineyard. This is a big, strong Shiraz – almost 'old school'. Dark fruit is melding into the oak with flavours showing some more mellow spice cupboard, earthy savouriness. A special wine and superb value.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"This Shiraz honours the vision of pioneer Clare Valley winemaker Jim Barry. In 1964, Jim purchased 70 acres 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.

Vibrant aroma of lifted violets, red currant, and perfectly ripe back plum, combine with well-integrated spice and a hint of very smart oak hidden in the background. The palate has commanding fruit with a density that stands to attention. Effortless flow throughout with flavours of ripe plum and purple fruits and layered fine tannin. Great intensity with a drive that will last for days."

95/100 Jeni Port, WinePilot.com, December 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Classic Clare Shiraz in all its glory from a great year. Brilliant hues of purple violet. Boasts a natural poise and elegance with fruit, oak and tannin effortlessly dovetailing, releasing a world of black cherry, forest berries, smoky spice, cedar and clove. The palate has weight – medium-bodied – and texture, fleshy throughout. Remains so vibrant and fresh to close, with a lift in lively spices. So good, and good to see this youngster perfectly poised for an even longer, brighter future."

93/100 JamesSuckling.com, December 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Iron, blackberries, mulberries, cloves and rosemary on the nose of this full-bodied and focused red. It’s sleek and polished with a savoury freshness and seamless tannins."

93/100 Mike Bennie, James Halliday's Wine Companion, June 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"A supple and soft red of distinct red berry fruitiness measured by choc-mocha wood influence and faint minty highlights. A beautiful flow to this wine, mellowness riding on fine waves of tannin and orange-y acidity. Easy pleasure here, it's a bold and brassy wine but with high polish applied. One for cellaring long, too."

Jim Barry Wines, a name synonymous with excellence in the Australian wine industry, is deeply rooted in the Clare Valley and Coonawarra regions. With a philosophy centred on vineyard ownership, the Barry family ensures that the quality of their wines begins in the vineyard. By meticulously managing 17 vineyards in the Clare Valley and two in the Coonawarra, they produce grapes of exceptional quality, leading to wines of unparalleled flavour and character.

The Armagh Vineyard, known for its Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, yields small-berried, intensely flavoured grapes. Meanwhile, the Florita Vineyard is famed for its Riesling, offering a blend of historical significance and rich, concentrated flavours. The Lodge Hill Vineyard's unique soil profiles provide the ideal environment for low-yielding vines, producing wines with intense flavours and fine structure. Additionally, the Old Penola Cricket Ground Vineyard in Coonawarra contributes to their lineup with its Terra Rossa soil, perfect for crafting premium Cabernet Sauvignon.

These vineyards form the foundation of Jim Barry Wines, where each bottle reflects the dedication to quality and tradition that defines the Barry family’s winemaking legacy.
