The single vineyard Magill Estate Shiraz is intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginnings. Sourced from the Magill vineyard on the edge of Adelaide’s eastern suburbs (just eight kilometres from the city’s CBD), fruit is crushed, fermented and matured on-site at the original Penfolds Magill Estate Winery, established in 1844. Magill Estate Shiraz, first produced in 1983, is an elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, matured in both French and American oak. It is a sleek, contemporary wine, yet crafted the original way: hand-picked, vinified in open fermenters and then basket pressed to complete fermentation in barrel.

A rare and important monopole wine. It has a legacy of the past yet with a distinct Penfolds style, a single-vineyard character and a purpose to perpetuate over time"

"Deep crimson. Perfumed elderberry, dark cherry, blackberry camomile ginger aromas with hints of liquorice. Saturated but sappy dark cherry, elderberry, blackberry, dark chocolate dried roses pippy flavours, plentiful al dente/ leafy textures and ginger/ cedar oak notes. Finishes granular/grippy firm and long. Idiosyncratic but characterful wine at the cusp of ripeness. A single vineyard “monopole” wine offering the light and shade of the vintage. From one of the last patches of 19th Century vineyard land in Adelaide - 93 points."
Bright crimson red
An aromatic oscillation centred between the garden and the stove:
• Savoury wafers – rosemary, oregano … dried herb, bay leaf.
• A minestrone soup mix – primarily celery, tomato and capers, tabasco.
• Roasted meats – seared/raw and trademark pan-scrapings.
• Perhaps less tell-tale lavender (and violet) florals at this stage than usual?
• Wafts of spice … fruit and clove-y French oak-derived?
Medium-bodied, non-affronting.
Magill shiraz fruits mirrored by fig, juniper and pink peppercorn. And, dried herb, malt.
A captivating flavour-pool of very dark/black cherry, powdered dark chocolate and almond croissant/frangipane.
A plush tannin continuum concordant to Magill winemaking practice, as is its barrel-ferment imprint.
Mandates air.
Shiraz attired differently; Magill genes omnipresent. The 2018 Magill Estate Shiraz awaits your engagement!
Winter and spring rainfall was well below the long-term average and temperatures slightly above average. The warm and dry spring conditions were optimal for flowering and fruit-set, with vines developing good protective canopies. Weather conditions remained warm throughout the growing season leading to veraison in January. There were intermittent heat spikes, with summer temperatures pushing into the mid-40’s on several occasions. A peak of 43.7°C was achieved on January 19th. The vineyard was hand-picked on the 13th and 16th of February, with grapes displaying excellent varietal characteristics.

The historic Penfolds Magill Estate is one of the few single vineyards in the world located within city boundaries. First planted in 1844. at its peak in 1949, then planted to several varieties, the vineyard covered 120 hectares. First produced in 1983, Magill Estate Shiraz is distinctly different to the mainstream Penfolds style, showing intense floral/ blackberry/ aniseed aromas, smooth richness and a ‘long spine’.
