'The McRae Wood' Shiraz, Jim Barry Wines, Clare Valley, Australia

Duncan Says: This was the wine I had on my first date with my wife, one of my favourite wines of all time.

Tasting Notes: Intense aromas of plum, cherry and dark berried fruits are complemented by black olive, spice and charry oak. A wine of fantastic drive and complexity, the soft, integrated tannins enhance the lengthy finish.

Grape: Shiraz

Best Enjoyed: Lovely with Sunday roasts.

Good to Know: In 1964, Jim purchased 28 hectares of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape variety and location.
