Magpie Estate er et Joint Venture mellem vinmageren Rolf Binder og den engelske vinkøbmand Noel Young. Begge har en stor passion for druerne fra Rhône – druer som jo har de bedste betingelser for at give store vine i Barossa.
Hvilke vine der produceres i de enkelte årgange kan sagtens variere, da man kun sender det bedste af det bedste på markedet – hvis druerne ikke har høj kvalitet, så springer man hellere årgangen over.
Hver enkelt vin fra Magpie har sin helt egen personlighed, hvilket man også har forsøgt at illustrere med nogle meget flotte og individuelle etiketter. James Halliday: One of the ”best of the best” and 5/5 star winery.

Aging Potential We have made this wine to be immediately appealing. It should however flesh out in the bottle and provide more complexity in the short term. As it’s under screwcap it should remain fresh for 3-4 years.

 
Food Matching.  Very much made with Asian food in mind. A perfect compliment to light-medium spiced dishes. Also crisp enough to provide excellent al fresco drinking with or without food.
 
The second release of our Gewurztraminer. It’s a style of wine we really enjoy so we found a suitable higher altitude vineyard in the north of the Barossa-in Moculta. Hand harvested late February. Cool fermented and bottled relatively early to keep all its aromatics. It’s an off-dry style with around 7 grammes per litre of residual sugar. Perfumed with lychee, citrus and a touch of musk on the nose.  Fairly crisp for Gewurztraminer on the palate, tangy with honeyed lychee and citrus. Finishes with clean acidity. Really appealing and great with lots of Asian dishes.
