“A 5 star winery”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2008 Edition |
|
|
We are delighted to introduce our latest exclusive agency from Australia's Barossa Valley: Schild Estate, where Ed Schild has worked his vines since 1953. It is a hugely exciting prospect to be bringing these wines into the UK and we highly recommend you book in for a case or two.
Already awarded 5-Stars in the latest Australian Wine Companion by James Halliday, this is an estate that has reached the pinnacle of the country's wineries and the wine critics are unanimous in their praise: All of the wines have won awards, medals or high scores in reviews and only a few weeks ago the Barossa Shiraz received 93 points from Wine Spectator.

Case : 12 x 75cl
Vintage : 2003
Region : Barossa Valley
Grape : Shiraz
Grower : Schild Estate
"Polished round and generous with its red cherry-tinged blackberry and currant flavors playing exuberantly against a bed of refined tannins. Hints of dusky spice and grilled game waft through the background. Stylish and graceful for a big wine. Drink now through 2018"omplex winemaking and the use of new and old French and Hungarian oak gives this wine great cellaring potential. Apricots, melons, nutmeg and toast on the nose with a smooth and creamy palate with some citrus and stone fruits." Wine Spectator - 94 Points

Grape : Grenache/Mataro/Syrah
Grower : Schild Estate
"Made from fruit from 70 year old vines, the GMS shows the classic generosity of flavours typical of Barossa.
