Overview
Overview
This wine is from the historic Magill Estate Vineyard, located in the Adelaide foothills of South Australia. Magill Estate was the first vineyard established by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold in 1844. The vineyard is now 6 hectares in size and consists entirely of Shiraz vines, planted between 1951 and 1985. Now in its eleventh vintage, Magill Estate has firmly established itself as one of Australia's most important single vineyard wines.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The grapes were harvested between 10 March and 18 March 1993. After a very wet and cool start to the season, summer and autumn conditions were dry and warm and, while vintage was later than usual, fruit quality was exceptional.
The Penfolds Team
Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.
Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
