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

Subscriber price: £37.35
Clare Valley, Australia — Shiraz

The McRae Wood Shiraz is a powerhouse from Jim Barry — bold, rich and full of depth. Dark blackberry and plum lead the way, layered with mocha, pepper and a touch of smoky oak. It’s full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, with velvety tannins and a long, spicy finish that lingers long after the last sip.

Perfect with slow-cooked beef, barbecued ribs or a rich mushroom pie. This is classic Aussie Shiraz done with real finesse — generous, structured and utterly satisfying.
