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.
97 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"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."
