Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale South Australia
Giovanni Maglieri migrated to South Australia 1958 and worked the vineyards at Pirramimma. He bought forty hectares of McLaren Vale scrub in 1965 and set about the task of clearing land to establish vines. The quality of Maglieri wines rose dramatically, by the early 1990s Maglieri was well positioned within the pantheon of first growth McLaren Vale estates. A classically structured, engagingly complex wine which displays great depth of colour, luscious aromas and intensity of palate, easily one of the most essential examples in McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon.
Giovanni Maglieri set out from the very start to create regionally expressive McLaren Vale wines. When John Loxton joined Maglieri in 1981, the estate was able to harvest the fruit of Giovanni Maglieri's labours, and to establish a distinctive House style. John Loxton was judged to have made the Best 1992 McLaren Vale Red Wine and was crowned as conferred with the prestigious title of Bushing King. In the years that followed, Maglieri accumulated further successes at competitions throughout Australia and overseas. Today Maglieri retain many of the best Cabernet vines to be found in McLaren Vale. The finished wine is treated to an extended maturation under a selection of the finest oaks.
Deep crimson colour. The nose displays lifted aromas of vanilla and violets, blackcurrants and spice, liquorice and allsorts - an impressive start. The palate is rich and smooth, laden with ripe berries, cherries and blackcurrants and Medocey expressions of fruit. The tannins are smooth, the finish is met by lasting impressions of red currants. Ready to drink today, or to cellar for development.

Maglieri
Giovanni Maglieri arrived in McLaren Vale in 1958 and worked in the vineyards of Pirramimma Wines

Five years later, Giovanni’s 17-year-old son, Steve, arrived in Australia. Then, in 1965, the pair bought 40 hectares of McLaren Vale scrub and set about the task of clearing it and planting vines. In 1972 Steve started his own winery Gully Wines, which he renamed Maglieri Wines in 1977.

Steve wanted to create distinctive and characterful McLaren Vale wines, and when John Loxton joined Maglieri in 1981, the pair was able to establish their own style. The quality of their wines improved steadily, and by the early 1990s Maglieri was well positioned at the top of the McLaren Vale tree. John Loxton was judged to have made the Best Red Wine in McLaren Vale in 1992, and was made Bushing King. Further show successes came throughout Australia and overseas throughout that decade.

One of Maglieri’s greatest achievements has been its sensational success at the International Wine Challenge in London. Twice the Maglieri Shiraz has beaten all comers and been voted Best Shiraz of the Competition. It can be said truly, that Maglieri wines lead the world

With a wide range of single varietal distinctive wines, Maglieri is well known for being character filled and at the forefront of winemaking in the McLaren Vale region. Maglieri now offers a very fine Lambrusco range that is a tribute to Maglieri’s Italian beginnings. Amabile is Italian for soft and mellow, and the easy drinking Maglieri Amabile offers a hint of spritz, in a soft, fruity, uncomplicated wine that is bright garnet red in the glass with a gentle hint of bubbles, Lambrusco at it’s very best.
