[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds Magill Shiraz 1996

The Magill Estate wine is a departure from Penfolds' multi-district blending philosophy. The wine was created by then Chief Winemaker, Don Ditter, working closely with Max Schubert who had retired at this stage. It is the only wine now made at Magill, in the same open fermenters which the earlier Granges and Special Bin Reds were created. The Magill Estate Shiraz is less reliant on sheer power, with an emphasis on structure and fruit.

Matured in 62% new French oak and 38% new American oak. Concentrated, bright crimson.Rich, spicy berry fruits with mocha lying beneath. Subtle floral, and cedar oak nuances combine with smoky barrel ferment characters to evolve and complex in the glass. Medium bodied in style, exhibiting flavours of compote of dark berries, plums and prune, with a lively spice lift. Classy cedary oak and vanilla barrel notes align with rounded pronounced tannins to create this crafted and complete Shiraz style.
