Located in the Adelaide foothills, the 5.2-hectare vineyard is planted entirely to Shiraz, with vines dating from 1951 to 1985. The vines are hand-pruned and the fruit is harvested by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1994 Adelaide growing season was trouble-free, with mild conditions and timely rainfall.

The bouquet displays a rich and complex assortment of fruit, spice and tobacco aromas with underlying peppery, gamey characters and beautifully melded cedary oak showing hints of vanillin. Traditional and full bodied in style, this classic wine shows fruit intensity across the whole palate and a delicate balance of very fine, lingering tannins.\u003c\/q\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Jeremy Oliver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted January 2003\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2002-2012\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 Points - Wine Spectator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted May 1998\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\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\u003eVineyard Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.2 hectares\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 7-16 March 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 months in new American and French oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.45\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Drinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Langtons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52485138088238,"sku":"5628281797","price":259.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/6596\/6894\/files\/965_1994_Penfolds_Magill_Estate_Shiraz_750ml_Base_of_Neck.jpg?v=1787283962","url":"https:\/\/www.jcfinewines.au\/products\/1994-penfolds-magill-estate-shiraz-750ml","provider":"JC FINE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
