Wine Description
Made from Grenache vines planted in 1926 and 1985, classified as ‘Survivor Vines’ and ‘Old Vines’ in the Barossa Old Vine Charter. Dark ruby in colour, layered with aromas of blackberry hedgerow fruit, plum skin and freshly picked strawberry ahead of teasing glimpses of ground cumin, cracked pepper and porcini broth. Dark cherry and red currant join the ever present strawberry notes to give some upfront creamy texture to the mouthfeel.
Winemaker's Bio
Scott Hazeldine joined Schild Estate in 2009 bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and experience.Born and raised in Malawi, Scott was educated in the UK but lured to Australia by a love of wine culture. He worked throughout the Barossa Valley before joining Bordeaux based “garagiste” producer Jonathan Maltus in his Australian operation Colonial Estate.
Seasoning his experience with time in Saint Emilion, Bordeaux and Napa Valley Scott has brought to Schild Estate an excitement and passion for winemaking that simultaneously honours traditions worthy of working with some of the world’s oldest vines whilst maintaining enthusiasm for continuous discovery.
