Jim Barry The Armagh Shiraz

The introduction of new destemmers, the transition from American to French oak maturation and larger oak, including 500 litre puncheons in 2018, plus a few technical refinements to protect wine stability are probably the major differences. From 2008 onwards, The Armagh begins to show more pure fruit definition, density and structural precision. The French oak folds into the wine, rather than sitting under it. Like all great wines, there is a natural evolution that takes place with the ageing of vineyards, the transition of generations, combined experience and contemporary outlooks. With winemakers Tom and Sam Barry at the helm, The Armagh has become the wine that their grandfather Jim Barry first imagined. It possesses a distinct regional voice and signature house style.
