About Jim Barry
The name of late Jim Barry echoes through the halls of Australian wine-making fame – right up there with Henschke, Penfolds and Torbreck.
As the first qualified winemaker in the Clare Valley, Jim Barry’s lifetime of work has shaped South Australia’s Clare Valley into a world benchmark for Riesling and Shiraz. Over the last 60 years, the Barry family has established 17 vineyard sites across the Clare Valley (plus two more in Coonawarra), each with differences in aspect and soil, creating unique Australian wines with a regional focus genuine sense of place. Over this time, they have established themselves as one of Australia’s “first families” of wine.
Today, Jim Barry Wines remains firmly in the hands of the Barry family. Championed by the third generation, Tom, Sam and Olivia Barry, and under the guidance of their father, Peter, they continue the excellent work started by their founding grandfather, which culminated in them winning the James Halliday “Companion Winery of the Year” in 2020.

Wine Advocate (98+)Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Shiraz The Armagh offers a gorgeous perfume of baking spices, violets, Sichuan pepper and fragrant earth. More earthy and savory in the mouth than on the nose, the palate is superbly structured and taut—built for the long-haul—with a long, complex finish. Still very youthfully, forget this wine for 3-5 more years and consider drinking it over the next 20+. |
