About this product
Limited availabilityDry, Full Bodied style of ShirazPairs well with BeefJim Barry The Armagh Shiraz for quite some time now has belonged to the upper echelon of Australia's finest red wines. Sitting comfortably in the 'Outstanding' category in the Langton's Classification of Australian Wine, The Armagh is an embodiment of the lifetime's work of Jim Barry and now his son Peter. Old vine Clare Valley fruit is used to create a Shiraz of utmost power, concentration and intensity with the ability to age gracefully for decades. The 1997 is holding up wonderfully with primary fruit still evident in the glass only with the truly more-ish earth and spice characters coming to the fore.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
