Magic Dirt Menglers Hill is a wine of finesse, length and quiet authority.
Drawn from a block of red-brown clay loam with ironstone and quartz, the 2016 vintage is rich with black and blue fruits, yet carries its depth without any sense of effort.
This is one of the most refined expressions in the Magic Dirt range: a flagship Shiraz with richness and concentration, but also composure, line and remarkable length.
In the glass
Black and blue fruit, savoury depth and fine structure, with a long, seamless finish.
Why we like it
Menglers Hill brings together richness and finesse at a very high level. It is full and deep, but never forced.
Drink it with
Slow-roasted meats, venison, hard cheeses, earthy mushroom dishes, or a table that calls for a wine with both weight and precision.
When to open it
Drink now with air, or cellar confidently over the long term.

“From a block of red-brown clay loam with small pieces of ironstone and quartz. It is a wine of extreme length, rich with black and blue fruits, yet it achieves this without any sign of effort. Finesse on a high level.”
