Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Schild Estate 2009
Picked and fermented separately, before being blended together immediately prior to bottling, this wine combines the depth of flavour and mouth feel of premium Barossa Semillon (60%) with the freshness and vibrancy of cool climate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc (40%). The resulting wine in one of freshness and approachability whilst still retaining the varietal nuances of each its components.
Good winter rainfall and mild weather during the 2010 growing season resulted in a vintage where gentle and even ripening conditions prevailed. As a result, the wines produced show a great depth of flavour, balance and structure.

Grower's Profile: Schild Estate
Schild Estate's reputation has been built on its commitment to translating the unique tapestry of its vineyards into wines that speak of honesty and drinkability. Founded in 1952 by the late Ben Schild, the estate has gone from strength to strength under the second and third generations of the Schild family. The estate is comprised of some of the oldest vineyards in Australia, including the famous Moorooroo vineyard near Jacob's Creek whose vines are over 160 years old. The vineyard site selection has favoured the cooler, southern end of the Barossa, near Lyndoch, which enjoys a slower and longer ripening period - perfect for optimum grape flavour development. Meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices ensure all the wines reflect their sub-region - pure Barossa.
