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.
