Beskrivelse
Denne Penfolds Magill Estate er lavet på 100% håndplukket Shiraz druer fra Adelaide, en af de få vinmarker i verden, der ligger inden for bygrænsen. Ejendommen råder over 5 hektar Shiraz, som dyrkes uden nogen form for kunstvanding. Hvilket giver et lavt udbytte med stor koncentration.
Oprindeligt blev Magill Estate i en del år druer til "Penfolds Grange" vinen, men er i dag en selvstændig vin. En vin der kan kaste et naturligt bundfald i løbet af dets modning.
Magill Estate Shiraz, der først blev produceret i 1983 og har været lagret 15 måneder på amerikanske og fransk egtræsfade.
Slank og moderne vin, men alligevel udformet på den originale måde. Det er en elegant mellemvægtstil med fløjelsagtig struktur og fine tanniner.
Hvor ganen er struktureret og kraftig med noter af lakrids, anis, sure kirsebær og melasse fra Magills mikroklima og hints af hasselnød fra fadlagringen.

Deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is disarmingly attractive with blueberry, blackberry and raspberry nuances, background vanilla and chocolate, the palate soft and supple, rounded and silky-smooth, with fruit sweetness and fine-grained tannins in perfect balance. A stunning wine, elegantly-framed and deliciously drinkable now, although it will undoubtedly age well. Full-bodied but far from being a blockbuster. Hard to resist now.

The Penfolds wine with the fewest travel miles. It’s grown and made on-site at the Magill winery on the kind-of-outskirts of Adelaide. It spends 13 months in new French and American oak.
I have so much history with this wine that I’ve now blocked it on Facebook. I jest; the point is that I bring a deal to the table before I’ve lifted the first glass. It’s single vineyard and special and unique in the Penfolds line but more than anything it’s a festival of oak. It wears a t-shirt with the words HISTORY IS YESTERDAY’S NEWS emblazoned on the front. Actually no it doesn’t. It’s more like BE SOMEONE ELSE. This 2016 though is bold, brilliantly red/black fruited (a gobful of red licorice, inter alia), sloshed with creamy, resiny, vanillin oak and quite desperately impressive, despite itself, and despite me. I thought I had it covered and in a clinch it threw an uppercut that I never saw coming. Lights out. It’s one of the best Magill Estate’s I’ve seen.
