Beyond The Glass Magoo Shiraz

If you’re looking for a red wine that doesn’t feel heavy, doesn’t need decanting, and works chilled on a sunny afternoon, Magoo is your go-to. It marries local terroir (Heathcote Syrah) with a modern chilled-red approach, so you get serious wine without taking things too seriously. Whether you’re after something refreshing for a summer meal, or a red that works just as well out of the fridge, this will hit the sweet spot.

Location: Heathcote, Victoria, Australia
Winemaking / Farming Techniques: 100% Syrah (Shiraz) from Heathcote. The fruit is sustainably grown. The wine is left on skins for around two weeks to extract colour and flavour, then pressed and matured in barrels for roughly a year before release. Designed to be lightly chilled.
Style / Body: Light-to-medium bodied “chilled red” style – approachable, vibrant and built for freshness rather than heavy extraction.
Notes: Aromas of tart cherry and red berries with a touch of spice. On the palate: bright red fruit rush, light peppery spice, a hint of dust or earth, and a savoury finish. Serve chilled to highlight the fruit and liveliness.
