Produced from the original vineyard established in 1844 in the Adelaide foothills, this single-vineyard wine captures the essence of old-vine Shiraz in a uniquely urban setting. The Magill Estate bottling is known for its refined structure, savoury complexity, and balance—an elegant contrast to the power of Grange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"665\"\u003eVineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"668\"\u003eThe Magill Estate vineyard sits just eight kilometres from Adelaide’s city centre on red-brown clay loam over shale and quartz. These dry-grown vines, hand-tended and low-yielding, produce fruit of great concentration and character. The wine is traditionally vinified at the estate’s historic winery and matured in a mix of new French and American oak, allowing the vineyard’s terroir to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1480\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1085\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003e1991 was a superb vintage across South Australia and one of the great years of the decade for Penfolds reds. Warm, dry conditions throughout the growing season and a perfectly timed harvest produced fruit of exceptional ripeness and balance. The 1991 Magill Estate Shiraz is a beautifully structured and long-lived wine that continues to show freshness and finesse even after three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"2032\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1482\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1499\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003eThe 1991 Magill Estate Shiraz displays a deep garnet core with subtle brick-red hues at the rim. The bouquet opens with blackberry, plum, and black olive, layered with cedar, leather, tobacco, and savoury spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, elegant yet powerful, showing black fruit, mocha, and earthy nuances framed by fine-grained tannins. The oak integration is seamless, contributing to a silky texture and long, persistent finish. This is a classic, mature Magill Estate—harmonious, balanced, and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2056\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2054\"\u003eCritics’ Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2246\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2088\"\u003e95 points – \u003cem data-start=\"2071\" data-end=\"2086\"\u003eJeremy Oliver\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2246\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2246\"\u003e94 points – \u003cem data-start=\"2103\" data-end=\"2119\"\u003eJames Halliday\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eWidely regarded as one of the standout vintages of the early 1990s, praised for its balance, length, and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2275\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003eTechnical Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2276\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2276\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2278\" data-end=\"2328\"\u003eRegion: Magill Estate, Adelaide, South Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2329\" data-end=\"2353\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2331\" data-end=\"2353\"\u003eVariety: 100% Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2354\" data-end=\"2373\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2373\"\u003eAlcohol: ~13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2374\" data-end=\"2444\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2444\"\u003eMaturation: 18 months in French and American oak (approx. 50% new)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2445\" data-end=\"2462\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2447\" data-end=\"2462\"\u003eClosure: Cork\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2463\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2494\"\u003eDrinking Window: 2000–2035+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2831\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2517\"\u003eA Collectible Gem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003eThe 1991 Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz is a benchmark vintage that perfectly expresses the estate’s signature balance of elegance and intensity.
