First vinified in 1983, the Magill Estate Shiraz shows an elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, aged in both French and American oak. It is a smooth, contemporary wine, yet produced in the traditional way in a 170-year-old winery: hand-picked, vinified in open fermentation vats and pressed into barrels using a basket press to complete the fermentation. Dense dark purple in the glass. Completely different... all in all a very appealing and different Shiraz! Tomatoes, blood orange and cola are discovered. Aromas of dried flowers (violet, daffodil) continue to arouse curiosity. The oak is presented in the form of rosewood, sandalwood and cedarwood. Tanned leather and cloves are added. Juicy, fresh, elegant on the palate. A mix of aromas made from various citrus fruits (blood orange, kumquat, mandarin) as well as red currants and red licorice interspersed with refreshing acidity (cranberries) and supple tannins.
