Schild Estate Wines are created with an authenticity and passion that comes from generations of a family who have made their home in the Southern Barossa.
This wine is dedicated to “Alma Schild”, who raised a family of eight children in primitive conditions whilst supporting her husband Ben in establishing the Schild family vineyards and is a testament to her understanding, perseverance and sheer hard work. Sourced from the family’s finest parcel of Chardonnay off the Moorooroo Vineyard near Rowland Flat, the goal for our winemakers here has been to produce a wine which is varietally strong, retains its element of refreshingness, but possesses interest and complexity for the drinker. Varying degrees of oak barrel and stainless steel use, lees stirring and malolactic fermentation are all used in an effort to make a wine “with no arms and legs sticking out” and in which “Alma Schild” would be proud.
Some 340 winemaking families joined forces in 1907 to create St. Michael-Eppan Winery, home to South Tyrol’s largest wine-growing municipality, Eppan.
Cellar Master Hans Terzer’s attaches the utmost importance to vinifying top wines that are clear, pure in tone and true to their varietal characteristics.
Up until the ‘80s some Chardonnay grapevines could be found in Pinot Bianco vineyards. Only in 1982, for the first time in South Tyrol, Chardonnay was vinified as a unique varietal wine by St. Michael-Eppan Winery, and since then it has experienced enormous popularity. It is wonderfully juicy and inviting, with long-lasting persistence.
