Wine Description
Paying homage to "the great Australian red", this classic estate blend of Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz is a distinctive wine style that is uniquely Australian.
Sweet, concentrated core of raspberry, blackberry and plum. The Cabernet (87%) provides the framework and structure that envelops this fruit core whilst the Shiraz (13%) contributes fruit generosity and mid-palate richness. Subtle fine grain tannins add a further level of intensity and length of flavour.

Winemaker's Bio
With 20 years of Barossa winemaking experience, Matt brings exceptional skill and a deep understanding of the diverse Barossa landscape to the task of crafting Hare’s Chase and Schubert Estate wines from estate vineyards at Marananga. His approach promotes a symbiotic connection between vineyard, winemaker and winery. Respecting the innate characteristics of the region and the site, with winemaking inputs serving only to showcase their distinctive strengths through each wine.
“The landscape of our Neldner and Roennfeldt Road vineyard estates at Marananga resembles a patchwork quilt of multiple soil types that constantly varies as you traverse across subtle changes in aspect and elevation. Taking advantage of this diversity and the subtle character nuances in the fruit we grow here allows me to build greater complexity in wines we aim to be exemplary reflections of the special nature of this place.” Matt Reynolds – Chief Winemaker
