Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz 2017
Four rows of vines planted by the Jacob brothers in 1847, and saved from destruction by Ed Schild in 1984. Hand-picked, bunch-sorted, berry-sorted by table post destemmer, open-fermented, 5-8 days cold soak, 7-14-day ferment, matured for 18-24 months in 90% French/10% American oak (30% new). A great wine, the oak handling exemplary, keeping the cornucopia of purple and black fruits foremost. The mouthfeel is supple, the alcohol also exemplary. – James Halliday, 99 Points
From generation to generation. 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.
