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.

Sight

Inky and crimson.

Smell

A charismatic and robust red wine. A bowl of fruit. Raspberry, blackcurrant, plum. Supporting complexity- tar, asphalt, liquorice, oregano and lavender.

Taste

Unreserved in its flamboyancy. The arrival - blueberry, tobacco, nutmeg and cranberry. The departure - coriander, sage, vanilla pods and cinnamon.

Time

A wine made using the Jim Barry method to be enjoyed upon release but would also benefit from cellaring.
