“Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz, from the picturesque Clare Valley, is one of Australia’s most important red wines. Its history and reputation are deeply connected to the postwar development of South Australia’s modern wine industry. Its Exceptional rating in auction house Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine highlights The Armagh’s ‘Grand Cru’ reputation and track record for cellaring. This reference claret-style is renowned for its powerfully expressive aromas, chocolaty richness and sinuous structure. With some years of bottle age, the elements fold together and develop a superb inky density and vigour. Vineyard provenance, history, family ambition and generosity underpin its authenticity and appeal.”
