Founded by Jim Barry, the winery's rich history dates back to his tenure as the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, having graduated with the 17th Degree in Oenology from the renowned Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1947. Jim's unwavering passion for winemaking led him to work as a winemaker at the Clarevale Co-operative for 22 years, where he became a trailblazer in Australian table wine production. In 1969, Jim embarked on a new chapter by establishing Taylors Wines for the Taylor family, showcasing his visionary approach to the industry. The legacy of Jim Barry Wines is deeply rooted in family, with Jim's wife, Nancy and their sons, Peter, Mark and John, playing pivotal roles in the company's growth. Notably, Peter Barry assumed the role of managing director in 1985, solidifying the family's commitment to the winemaking tradition. Today, the third generation of the Barry family continues to uphold this proud legacy, with Peter's children Tom, Sam and Olivia actively contributing to Jim Barry Wines as winemaker, commercial manager and brand ambassador, respectively. This multigenerational involvement underscores the deep familial ties and commitment to excellence that define the winery's ethos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards of Jim Barry serve as a testament to the family's dedication to quality and innovation, encompassing 17 vineyards across 320 hectares in the Clare Valley and two vineyards spanning 35 hectares in the Coonawarra. Each vineyard boasts a unique combination of soil profile, climate, aspect and elevation, contributing to the diverse and exceptional range of wines offered by the winery. Among these vineyards, the Armagh Vineyard stands out as a jewel in the crown, with its north-west facing slope and elevation of 367 meters providing an ideal terroir for cultivating The Armagh, The Benbournie Cabernet Sauvignon and The McRae Wood Shiraz. The vineyard's rich history, dating back to 1964, reflects the Barry family's commitment to crafting wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. In addition to the Armagh Vineyard, the Florita Vineyard in Watervale and the Lodge Hill Vineyard in the Eastern Ranges further exemplify the family's dedication to producing exceptional wines rooted in the region's unique terroir. These vineyards have become synonymous with quality, with the Florita Vineyard being the birthplace of Leo Buring Watervale Riesling and the Lodge Hill Vineyard serving as a testament to the Barry family's commitment to owning and nurturing their own vineyards. Furthermore, the Barry family's foray into the Coonawarra region has resulted in the establishment of the Old Penola Cricket Ground Vineyard, where the preservation of the original pavilion and the strategic positioning of vines around the cricket pitch pay homage to the region's history and heritage. Despite the passing of Jim and Nancy Barry their enduring legacy continues to thrive through the unwavering commitment of their family.

Located on a north-west facing slope at an elevation of 367 metres and bisected by the Armagh Creek, the western half of the vineyard is an alluvial flat, while the eastern half gently slopes towards the creek. The 70-acre property was previously owned by Duncan McRae Wood and used to graze dairy cows before being purchased by Jim and Nancy Barry in 1964. Located two kilometres northwest of Clare on the opposite side of the hill on which the Jim Barry Winery is located. The vineyard gets its name from a nearby hamlet of Armagh, established by Irish settlers in 1849 and named after the lush, rolling hills of their homeland. In 1964, Jim Barry first plated 900 Malbec and 2500 Cabernet Sauvignon vines, followed by a further eight acres of Shiraz vines in 1968\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe area where the Armagh vineyard is found contains the region's oldest rock from the Rhynie Sandstone Formation, dating back more than 800 million years. The Armagh vineyard is characterised by a light brown, sandy clay topsoil with a pebbly alluvial layer overlaying a mottled clay subsoil. It is planted with shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. Of which, the 50-year-old Shiraz vines follow the contours of the north-west-facing slopes to prevent soil erosion and ensure winter rains soak in. The combination of low-fertility soil and good exposure aids the natural devigoration of the vines, producing small-berried and intensely flavoured bunches. Receiving an average rainfall of 580mm per year, the vineyard requires minimal intervention to maintain yields of below 1.5 tonnes per acre, producing rich and concentrated fruit of the rare quality required to create exceptional wines with ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose - Red\/Purple Fruits, Violets, Spice\u003cbr\u003eDark plums, spice and purple florals on the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - Round, Spicy Red Fruit Core, Generous Supple Tannins\u003cbr\u003eFluid palate with a rich and assertive core of raspberries and red plums.

Crafted primarily from low-yielding vineyard parcels across Clare Valley, including fruit declassified from the famed Armagh vineyard, this release reflects both concentration and regional finesse.

Maturation in French oak for approximately 12 months contributes notes of dark chocolate, vanilla and fine spice without overshadowing the fruit purity. As a cellar release, the wine has developed additional tertiary nuances, with earthy undertones and softened tannins adding complexity and refinement.
