JIM BARRY 'THE MCRAE WOOD' SHIRAZ
Lifted aromas of blackberry, blueberry briary fruits and perfumed violets are complemented by a lick of toasty vanillin oak. The palate is restrained in its youth, but delivers depth and concentration with dark forest-fruits, rich fruitcake and a streak of earthy goodness. A wine of fantastic drive and complexity, the delicate grained tannins enhance the lengthy finish.
Certain names resonate strongly within Australian wine history and Jim Barry is one of them. It was Jim Barry`s drive that helped shape South Australia`s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world class Riesling and cemented it as one of Australia`s premier wine regions. Jim was the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, graduating with a degree in oenology from the prestigious Roseworthy Agricultural College in 1947. Founded in 1959, Jim Barry Wines is still family owned, with three generations of Roseworthy graduates. Jim`s son Peter became managing director in 1985 and today Peter`s children Tom, Sam and Olivia are the winemaker, commercial manager and brand ambassador respectively. Voted 2020 Winery of the Year' at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards they produce highly acclaimed and award-winning wines.
