Wine Description
Deep, ruby, purple in colour. Aromatically the wine is marked but wafts of creamy, but balanced, dark plum, blackcurrant fruit and aniseed. Once on the palate the same controlled primary plum fruit re-appears where it sits alongside more fleeting glimpses of pine needle spice, boot polish and a slight ferrous note. A bright acid line and a super fine, but ever-present tannin frame provide focus and a sense of tension to the wine
particularly in its youth.

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.
