The 1993 release was only the eleventh vintage of this celebrated label, giving it particular historical and collector significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHistoric Vineyard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagill Estate was established by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold in 1844 and was the first vineyard planted by the Penfold family. The compact six-hectare vineyard is devoted entirely to Shiraz, with vines planted between 1951 and 1985. Its survival within metropolitan Adelaide makes it one of Australia's most distinctive historic vineyard sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe season began with unusually wet and cool conditions before turning dry and warm through summer and autumn. Harvest took place later than usual, between 10 and 18 March 1993, with fruit quality described by the producer as exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Maturation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was matured for 14 months in new American and French oak hogsheads.

The bouquet displays complex Shiraz fruit with elegant, well-integrated oak and barrel ferment characters as well as hints of white pepper and meaty aromas. The palate has sweet, ripe, rich fruit, especially evident on the mid-palate, and shows a touch of vanillin oak. Traditional and full bodied in style, the wine has plenty of flavour with some interesting gamey and leather characters beginning to develop.\u003c\/q\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Jeremy Oliver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2003\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2005-2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penfolds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magill Estate Vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adelaide, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-18 March 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 months in new American and French oak hogsheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.46\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Drinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Casey Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583104573526,"sku":"5565801016","price":240.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/963_1993_Penfolds_Magill_Estate_Shiraz_750ml_Just_Below_Base_of_Neck_a9573fde-7c1e-4873-8c90-01fed071e66a.jpg?v=1787291653","url":"https:\/\/caseycellars.com.au\/products\/1993-penfolds-magill-estate-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Casey Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
