Jim Barry Wines is one of South Australia's most well-known wine producers, having crafted a name for its premium wines. The winery was established in 1959 when Jim and his wife Nancy purchased their first property and vineyards on the outskirts of the Clare Valley. Today the estate owns vineyards in the Clare Valley and Coonawarra.
Single-vineyard Armagh Shiraz is the company's most famous wine which regularly scores highly with critics. The name of ‘Armagh’ was bestowed by the original Irish settlers who arrived in 1849 and named the lush, rolling hills after their homeland. The Armagh vineyard has Shiraz planted on original rootstocks in sandy soils with a high content of clay.
Crimson red with a magenta hue in the glass. A complex and fragrant nose combining lifted elderberry and dark plum with choc mint, hints of liquorice and graphite notes. An intense palate of sweet forest floor, red cherry and milk chocolate, intertwined with notes of baking spice and aniseed. The palate is long and lingering, firm tannins with flavors of damson plumbs, blueberry compote and toasty chestnut from the oak. A wine of enormous complexity and longevity.
