Inviting notes of creamy freshly scraped vanilla pods and a mélange of dark compote fruit draws the drinker in to discover more. Once in the mouth, flavors of blood plums and blackberries are supported by classic Shiraz notes of coffee bean and subtle pepper spice. There is a depth and chewiness to the palate which hints at the quality of fruit, but also a brightness and vitality that is derived from the elevated location of the vineyard site. The fruit rolls out though the back of palate all the while encapsulated by a well resolved tannin frame which will soften over time in the cellar.

The Estate

The Schild family have journeyed from early German pioneers to becoming one of the Barossa’s oldest family owned grape growers and most successful wineries. At Schild Estate we make wines created with passion & authenticity. A passion that comes through generations of a family who have made the Southern Barossa their home.

Wine Making

Hand harvested and then crushed into traditional open top fermenters, the wine undergoes pre-fermentation cold soak and is then either gently pumped over or punched down by hand according to winemaker specifications so as to obtain optimal colour and retain complex fruit flavours. Additional post fermentation maceration usually occurs before the wine is then drained and pressed to barrel. Free run and pressings are usually kept separate and combination of new and aged oak are barrels for maturation of between 18-24 months. The wine is then prepared for bottling with some seeing some further time in bottle prior to release.
