Full Description

Bottle No.s 13536 & 13915 The historic and heritage-protected Penfolds Magill Estate is one of the few single vineyards in the world located within city boundaries.Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz was developed after the vineyard was saved from being engulfed by urban development, with a single estate wine being compelling justification for the continued use of this vineyard (by then, just 5.2 hectares of the 120 hectares which once covered an entire hillside).The aim was to create a wine which showed the character of the vineyard but was more elegant in style than most Penfolds reds.The Magill Estate style has evolved over the years. The early vintages were quite lean and tight. From the early 1990s the wine shows greater fruit definition and palate vitality. Winemakers are particularly interested in flavour development and tannin ripeness, resulting in wines with supple structures and more fruit richness.
