Established in 1844 on the outskirts of Adelaide, the vineyard and winery remain central to Penfolds’ heritage, producing a distinctly elegant Shiraz that combines history, terroir, and modern precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"618\" data-end=\"630\"\u003eVineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"633\"\u003eThe Magill Estate vineyard lies on the lower slopes of Adelaide’s foothills, planted on red-brown clay loam over shale and quartz. Dry-grown and hand-tended, these vines yield small, intensely flavoured berries that form the backbone of this single-site Shiraz. Maturation typically occurs in a mix of new French and American oak, balancing fruit purity with savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1026\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1029\"\u003e1986 was an exceptional year across South Australia, producing deeply coloured, balanced, and powerful reds that continue to age gracefully today.

The bouquet is complex and expressive, offering aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar, leather, and spice, alongside subtle notes of mocha and earth. The palate is medium-bodied and savoury, with soft tannins framing flavours of dried blackberry, dark chocolate, and tobacco leaf. The finish is long, balanced, and elegant—displaying the seamless harmony that defines the best mature vintages of Magill Estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1872\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1870\"\u003eCritics’ Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1875\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003e95 points – \u003cem data-start=\"1887\" data-end=\"1902\"\u003eJeremy Oliver\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1907\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003e94 points – \u003cem data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1935\"\u003eJames Halliday\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1935\" data-end=\"1938\"\u003eCelebrated for its grace, longevity, and classic structure, the 1986 vintage is a benchmark for the Magill Estate Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2090\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003eTechnical Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2298\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003eRegion: Magill Estate, Adelaide, South Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2168\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2168\"\u003eVariety: 100% Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2171\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003eAlcohol: ~13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2189\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2191\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003eMaturation: French and American oak (approx. 18 months)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2249\" data-end=\"2266\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2251\" data-end=\"2266\"\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2267\" data-end=\"2298\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2269\" data-end=\"2298\"\u003eDrinking Window: 1995–2030+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2300\" data-end=\"2621\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2300\" data-end=\"2321\"\u003eA Collectible Gem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2321\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003eThe 1986 Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz is a rare and distinguished expression from Penfolds’ historic vineyard.
