The palate is rich and concentrated, with plummy, liquorice, cherry, blackberry and some charry, toasty oak. The tannins are finely grained and well integrated.

Background Information: 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.
The wine is made from a selection of the best fruit from the mature, low-yielding vines that surround the famous Armagh vineyard.
