2016 | Penfolds | The Magill Estate

Rich aromas of the dark-fruit compote, blackberries, dark plums and wild raspberries. There’s a curious, yellow-citrus edge, where acidity sits very prominently. Richer, riper fruit surrounds a crunchy core. It's a full-bodied wine.Toasty oak and roasted spice flavors to the rescue. Beautiful wine!

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2016 Shiraz Magill Estate aged in 100% new oak, which has left its cedary, vanilla mark on the wine, but in a balanced, harmonious way. It's a full-bodied wine, with big berry fruit and lavish oak, yet those components are wonderfully judged, coming together in a fine, elegant wine that showcases the brand's home estate in the Adelaide suburbs.

• James Suckling: A richer iteration of Magill, but slightly fragmented. Here it delivers an array of ripe dark-fruit compote, blackberries, dark plums and wild raspberries. There’s a curious, yellow-citrus edge, where acidity sits very prominently. Richer, riper fruit surrounds a crunchy core. Toasty oak and roasted spice flavors to the rescue.

Producer Information

Penfolds has extensive vineyard holdings located across the various winegrowing regions of South Australia. Some of these are among the most iconic properties in the country, including Magill Estate, and the Kalimna and Koonunga Hill vineyards in the northern Barossa.The Woodbury estate in the Eden Valley is planted entirely to Riesling where a cooler climate is well-suited to the variety. In comparison, the Coonawarra estate is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz on the terra rossa soil type that the region is famous for. This clay-based soil type has remarkably good drainage characteristics and is found in numerous other wine regions throughout the world, most notably La Mancha in Spain. In addition, a wide range of grape growers are also used, both in the core South Australian regions and further afield, particularly for Chardonnay. In total, around 220 different sources contribute to production.
