In the heart of Coonawarra, the 2016 vintage of Magarey Lane Glenroy Shiraz is a masterclass in aged elegance and varietal power. Harvested in the cool of autumn morning and meticulously sorted for purity, this Shiraz underwent controlled fermentation reaching 28°C to extract full colour and tannin, then cooled to 24°C to preserve fruit vibrancy. After a total of nine days on skins, the wine was gently pressed and matured for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads, delivering depth and complexity.
This wax-sealed, museum release 8-year-old Shiraz presents with a deep, focused core of dark cherry, plum, and red berry, layered with mid-palate notes of plum and magnolia. The tannins are plush, lending structure to the wine’s sleek profile, while oak influence rounds out its impressive character. Awarded 97 Points and 5 Stars by Sam Kim of Wine Orbit, 96 Points by both Ray Jordan and Wine Showcase Magazine, this is a critically acclaimed wine that speaks to Coonawarra’s pedigree.
Ideal for pairing with slow-cooked lamb shanks, grilled ribeye steak, or a decadent mushroom risotto, this Shiraz showcases not only regional typicity but also the winemaking precision of Magarey Lane.

"Immensely complex and fragrant, the bouquet is filled with dark fruit richness, charcuterie, spicy oak and mocha characters, leading to a concentrated palate offering plush mouthfeel backed by bold tannins, finishing lingering and sturdy. At its best: now to 2033."
96 Point Rated - Ray Jordan Wine Pilot
"A marvelous example of Coonawarra Shiraz. It’s powerful yet so beautifully refined. Deeply concentrated spicy dark fruit characters burst from the glass. It is a plush and generously appointed wine of tremendous poise. A mix of French and American oak has been used perfectly, contributing to a wine that retains its life and energy through to that very long finish."
