About this Wine

Sourced from a single vineyard this wine was created as a tribute to Ben Schild who began the family’s long association with winemaking and viticulture. The wine was fermented in open fermenters before being matured in a combination of new and old French, American and Hungarian oak for 18 months and then underwent a further 24 months maturation in bottle prior to release.
Dense black as night in colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Pronounced liquorice, black cherry and blackberry fruits drive the nose with plum, smoky vanillin cedar, black olive and blackpepper notes in tow. Rich, plush and possessing a voluminous feel, intense liquorice, blackberry and dark plum fruits saturate the full bodied palate. Lying underneath are elements of scorched earth, vanillin cedar and spicy pepper. Velvet like tannins possess some structural muscle. Concludes long, powerful and opulent.
Drink over next 5-6 years.

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
