In 1964 Jim Barry, and his wife Nancy, purchased 70 acres of prime farm land from their friend and neighbour, Duncan McRae Wood. On this special site they planted their first Shiraz vineyard.
The McRae Wood Shiraz is made from grapes declassified from The Armagh and blended with fruit from special parcels from the family’s other Clare Valley vineyards. 
Rich and intense, it was considered a modern and innovative style of wine, when it was first released in 1992. 
This wine displays lovely red and purple tones in the glass. Dark plums, spice and purple florals on the nose. The palate enters with black plum, black cherries with brambles and compote detailed with spice and elegance. A wine of refrained structure and integrated tannin, dark spice and black berries to finish.

First made in '92 as a junior brother to the Armagh from an estate vineyard planted in '64. It sits well in the mouth, but its quality comes into high relief on the finish and aftertaste. Here dark berry fruits, spice, licorice and leather all dance a jig together. It's on the way to greatness.
