About the wine

Jim Barry has decisively shaped Australia's wine history. It is thanks to his commitment and sense of community that the Clare Valley wine region is now known as one of Australia's best. Jim Barry was one of the first certified oenologists in the region. Together with his wife Nancy, he bought the first vineyards in the north of the Clare Valley in 1959. Nancy and their sons Peter, Mark and John contributed a great deal to the success of the company. Peter has been Managing Director since 1985 and today runs the winery together with his children Tom (Winemaker), Sam (Commercial Manager) and Olivia (Brand Ambassador). Jim Barry has achieved a remarkable feat with Armagh, this wine achieved cult status after just a short time! Although larger quantities of this plant could be sold, strictly limited quantities are still being maintained today.
