Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz
Named after Clare Valley's 1848 Irish settlement, The Armagh Shiraz bursts with opulence and robust fruit, an aromatic explosion. Influenced by nearby vineyard Wendouree, Jim Barry's approach marries Wendouree's structured power with Penfolds Grange's rich allure. Sourced from a low-yielding 1968 vineyard on a north-west-facing sandy slope at 400 metres elevation, this concentrated Shiraz basks in ample sun, yielding fully ripe, age-worthy wines. Its style, a blend of muscular elegance and chocolatey richness, echoes the region's history while embodying a unique winemaking vision.
