Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz

Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz is a wine of heritage and elegance, deeply rooted in the origins of the Penfolds story. Sourced exclusively from the original Magill Vineyard, located just eight kilometres from Adelaide’s city centre, this single vineyard Shiraz reflects a unique sense of place. The Magill Estate Winery, established in 1844, continues to produce wine using traditional methods, including hand-picking, open fermentation, and basket pressing. First released in 1983, Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz offers a refined, medium-weight expression of the varietal – sleek, structured and silky, showcasing both heritage and modern winemaking precision.

• Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz opens with lifted aromas of dark cherry, redcurrant, and fresh plum, interwoven with subtle hints of charcuterie, black pepper and dried rose petals.
• The palate is elegant and composed, delivering layers of raspberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit wrapped in fine, supple tannins and a velvety texture.
• French and American oak influence introduces gentle notes of cedar, vanilla and baking spices, enhancing complexity without overwhelming the fruit purity.
• A touch of dark chocolate and earthiness adds savoury depth, contributing to a long, poised and graceful finish.
• Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz expresses a balance of power and finesse, with its medium-bodied profile offering both immediate drinkability and cellaring potential.

This refined Shiraz pairs beautifully with sophisticated dishes such as duck breast with cherry glaze, roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, or mushroom and truffle risotto. Its silky tannins and vibrant acidity also complement aged hard cheeses or chargrilled vegetables. A wine for those who appreciate elegance and history in every glass, Magill Estate Shiraz is a truly timeless expression of site and style.
