The Story

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. At the winery, the wine was matured for 16 months in 60% French and 40% American oak hogsheads. Complex and intense aromas of rich dark fruit, sweet spice, dark chocolate and dried herbs lead to a palate of concentrated dark fruit flavours. Fine tannins envelope the abundance of fruit. This is a wine of great power, length and poise. [#intro]Named by the original Irish settlers after the lush, rolling hills of their homeland...[/intro]
