Learn more about 2003 Australia
Drought was a huge influence in 2003 for vineyards throughout Australia, reducing crop size and adding significantly to concentration levels.
Rain arrived just before harvest time, but in many cases had no detrimental effect on the health of the crop. Most successful varieties have been the tannic red grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, which have produced dense, structured wines of power, intensity and longevity.

Ready, but will improve,
Penfolds- iconic 2003 Grange is Shiraz blended with 3.5% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra. It was aged for 15 months in 100% new American oak. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up aromas of cedar, cigar box, leather, Asian spices, and blueberry. On the palate it is layered but a bit short on depth and grip with only moderate length. It will evolve for 5-7 years and drink well from 2014 to 2030.

Ready, but will keep,
Penfolds Magill Estate Shiraz is an elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, matured in both new French and American oak. A good depth of dark black cherry. The nose shows instantly recognisable Magill Estate perfume of florals and distinctive assemblage characters. Stylish cedar oak and barrel ferment characters meld in with spice, savoury/earthy notes over plum and raspberry fruits. A structurally impressive, 'crafted' wine.
