The 2016 Shiraz Magill Estate aged in 100% new oak (70% French and 30% American), 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. With only 15 cases for the United States, it will be tough to track down. ... More details

Glass-staining ruby. Deeply perfumed aromas of blackberry, blueberry, candied violet, licorice and smoky minerals, with hints of pipe tobacco and vanilla building in the background. Seamless and alluringly sweet, offering deeply concentrated black and blue fruit, spicecake and cola flavors and an exotic touch of five-spice powder. Puts on weight with air and finishes on a smoky note, with superb persistence and sneaky tannins adding shape and grip.

If St Henri is atypical for its lack of new oak, so Magill, derived from a single estate, belies the Penfolds cross-regional philosophy. Matured for 13 months in new French and American oak, stylistically it's more elegant too. Intense spicy, floral blackberry Shiraz aromatics are accompanied by a hint of black pepper and a savoury note of black olive. Fine-textured blackberry fruit on the medium-to-full-bodied palate becomes sinewy then savoury, nicely supported by substantial vanilla from the new oak. It has a very promising future. One for roast partridge and slow-cooked belly of pork.

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. Needs time to settle down. Try in 2024.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

Country: Australia

Despite much of Australia being covered by dry, arid deserts and bushland, the southern regions of the country and islands such as Tasmania have proved to be ideal for vineyard cultivation and wine production. The fertile soils and brisk oceanic breezes, coupled with the blazing Australian sunshine allow the grapes to grow to full ripeness before a late harvest, resulting in hugely flavorful wines which appeal to a wide international audience. Combine this with the experimental and daring approach Australian wineries have in regards to wine production, and it becomes clear why Australia has relatively quickly become something of a world leader when it come to exporting their produce to Europe and America. The Shiraz and Chardonnay grape varietals have produced the most successful and broadly appreciated results over the decades, however, in more recent years wineries have begun experimenting with a much wider range of grape varietals, demonstrating how Australian wineries are continuing to adapt and develop alongside international palates.
