Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz

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 irreplaceable Moorooroo vineyard was planted in 1847 by Willam and John Jacob, just eleven years after the foundation of South Australia putting them amongst the oldest in the world.
Situated between Jacob’s Creek and the North Para River the vineyard gets it’s name from the Indigenous word ‘Moorooroo’ meaning ‘meeting of two waters’.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA
Alcohol 14.5%
Total acidity 6.1 g/l
pH 3.58

APPEARANCE
Dark ruby, purple in colour.

NOSE
Aromatically the wine is marked by intense aromas of creamy, dark berry fruit, fresh vanilla bean and chocolate with a fleeting glimpse of the exotic dried spice jar.

PALATE
On the palate it opens with an unctuous mouth filling attack, whilst still showing fresh and balance without any heaviness.
Primary dark fruit remains ever present and a super fine tannin frame pins in the fruit just enough to provide a focused end point for the line of travel.

AGEING
Maturation in a combination of new and aged oak barrels for 18-24 months.

PAIRING
Ideal with barbecued meats, roast beef and even dark chocolate.

READINESS FOR DRINKING
Drink now to 2031.
