Schild Estate Barossa GSM

This blend of Grenache and Shiraz and Mataro is an homage to the great wines of the Southern Rhone but with a very Barossa accent. These three classic red wine varieties are blended to showcase the unique qualities of each whilst ensuring balance, purity of fruit and the utmost drinkability.

The three Springs Vineyard is located alongside the original Schild Family Estate: planted in 1926 the Grenache vines are classified as ‘Survivour Vines’ in the Barossa Valley Old Vine Charter. The Mataro is grown in ‘Kleeman’s Block’ where vines are high on the Eastern Hills overlooking Rowland Flat. Shiraz is taken from the Hermann’s Vineyards taking premium fruit from each to blend into this typical GSM.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14.5%

APPEARANCE
Bright crimson purple.

NOSE
Dark cherry, plum and red currant fruit sits alongside more savoury spice notes and an intense red cherry compote.

PALATE
Soft around the edges and deliciously drinkable.
Old vine Grenache fruit presents itself on the front palate with a juicy red berry intensity while the Mataro and Shiraz add blueberries, ripe lush tannins and a vibrant mineral structure. Hints of white pepper and spice are evident with a soft tannin framework ensuring a supple, dynamic and long finish.

PAIRING
Full and flavoursome meat dishes are a classic pair and it would work wonderfully with mushroom or pepper sauces.
