First planted in 1968, the Armagh vineyard is a tiny, low-yielding site named after the small settlement of Armagh, west of Clare. Dry-grown bush vines rooted in shallow, gravelly loam over clay produce minuscule quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, forming the foundation of this iconic wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003eThe 2022 growing season in the Clare Valley was mild, balanced, and ideal for Shiraz. Consistent warmth without excessive heat spikes allowed for slow, even ripening, while cool nights preserved natural acidity and aromatic lift. Low yields resulted in exceptional concentration — a hallmark of the best Armagh vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1483\"\u003eThe wine opens with deep, seductive aromas of blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, dark plum, licorice, cocoa, and clove. Layers of violet, graphite, warm spice, charcuterie, and subtle cedar from high-quality French oak add sophistication and detail. The aromatic complexity is characteristic of The Armagh’s pedigree and its ability to balance intensity with finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003eOn the palate, the 2022 Armagh is bold, richly textured, and impeccably structured. Concentrated dark fruit flows across a plush yet disciplined frame of fine, firm tannins. The wine displays remarkable drive and depth, supported by fresh acidity that gives energy and precision. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, smoked spice, and earthy undertones build towards a long, powerful, and seamless finish. As with all top Armagh vintages, the wine is built for decades of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"2124\"\u003eAlready commanding in its youth, the 2022 Armagh will continue to expand in complexity, developing further savoury, earthy, and floral nuances as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2249\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2126\" data-end=\"2137\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clare Valley, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2170\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2170\" data-end=\"2182\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"2189\" data-end=\"2192\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2211\" data-end=\"2214\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2214\" data-end=\"2234\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025 – 2050+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2251\" data-end=\"2403\"\u003eA landmark Australian Shiraz — the 2022 Armagh is a profound, collectible release that embodies concentration, elegance, and long-term cellar potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736086770027,"sku":"SK75706876","price":439.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2022_Jim_Barry_Armagh_Shiraz_750ml_Gift_Box_5c941d91-f8e2-4ff4-bbb6-d4d88cd6c7f6.png?v=1780389886","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2022-jim-barry-armagh-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
