Layers of black olive, spice and charry oak surround concentrated, dark-berried fruits. This is a wine of fantastic drive and complexity, with the soft velvety texture enhancing the lengthy finish.

In 1964 Jim Barry, and his wife Nancy, purchased 70 acres of prime farmland 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.

It was Jim Barry’s drive and community spirit that helped shape South Australia’s Clare Valley as a benchmark producer of world class Riesling and cemented its place as one of Australia’s premier wine regions.
