  • Complex and intense aromas of rich dark fruit, mocha, and garden herbs lead to a palate of concentrated dark fruit flavours. Fine tannins envelop the abundance of black cherry and blackberry with undertones of mocha oak and just a hint of aniseed. This wine is of great complexity, power, length, and poise. The iconic 'Armagh' vineyard was named after the original Irish settlers who arrived in 1849 and called the lush, rolling hills after their homeland. In 1968, the vineyard was purchased by Jim Barry, who planted it with Shiraz.

The grapes were hand-harvested and meticulously sorted before being destemmed and crushed. Vinification took place in small two-tonne open-top fermenters with heading down boards, which submerged the cap while gently extracting colour, flavour, and tannins. Pump-overs were conducted twice a day with a rack and returned once per day. Fermentation lasted eight days before being racked in oak barrels, where the wine underwent malolactic conversion. The wine was matured for 16 months in 60% French and 40% American oak hogsheads. 

Complex and intense notes of rich, dark fruit, spice and dark chocolate are enveloped by a velvety palate—a wine of great power, length and poise.

The iconic 'Armagh' vineyard was named by the original Irish settlers who arrived in 1849 and called the lush, rolling hills after their homeland. In 1968, the vineyard was purchased by Jim Barry, who planted it with Shiraz. Today, these low-yielding vines produce less than 27 hectolitres per hectare. The soil is sandy gravel and receives an average rainfall of 600 millimetres annually. The vineyard lies on a northwest-facing slope, which acts as a natural sun trap, ensuring the fruit is always fully ripened at harvest time. The Clare Valley climate is continental with a high diurnal temperature difference, producing Shiraz with evenly ripened tannins and flavour.
