“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 : 2006
Region : Barossa Valley
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. Aromatic with lifted spice, subtle coconut and savoury notes precede a palate of juicy soft berry & plum fruit & a hint of savoury oak which seamlessly combines with silky fine tannins, and a lingering Moorish finish."

Vintage : 2005
Region : Barossa Valley
Grape : Shiraz / Syrah
Grower : Schild Estate
"Smooth and round, this is impressive for its seamless balance, offering cherry and grilled pepper flavors against refined tannins. The open texture reveals sweet spices and mocha flavors as the finish lingers. Has complexity, depth and excellent detail. Best from 2008 through 2015. 10,000 cases made." 93 points, Wine Spectator
