The Berton Vineyard Reserve range brings together wines from regions that due to their distinct climate and soil have excelled at producing particular varieties. Predominantly made from the Barossa Valley this vintage, resulting in a rich, textured and drinkable Shiraz.
A blend of the Eden Valley vineyard and two vineyards in the Barossa Valley, this Reserve Shiraz was fermented in separate parcels, then pressed and left in stainless steel for malolactic fermentation, after which it was racked into barrel for approximately 12 months maturation in new and old French and American oak. The best barrels were then blended and filtered for bottling and a dash of High Eden Shiraz was added for extra complexity and spice.

In March 2002 the DiGiorgio Family became the proud owners of the second oldest winery in Coonawarra. This winery had been known since the early 1950’s as ‘Rouge Homme’ and holds enormous importance within the ‘winescape’ of Australia. The 13.5ha of mature vineyard surrounding the winery is planted on the famous ‘terra rossa’ soil of Coonawarra. These old vineyards have provided the DiGiorgio Family with an invaluable source of premium grapes for their Coonawarra label.

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.
Their Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a combination of three estate vineyards ‘Angus Brae’, ‘Narrow Road’ and ‘Three Springs’.
At 380m above sea level these are traditionally much lower yielding than those planted on the Barossa floor meaning the fruit produced is often of a higher quality.
This blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Shiraz is an homage to the great wines of the Southern Rhone but with a very Barossan 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 Mourvédre for this wine is grown in ‘Kleeman’s Block’ where vines are high on the Eastern Hills overlooking Rowland Flat. Shiraz is taken from the ‘Workshop’ and ‘Angus Brae’ vineyards taking premium fruit from each to blend into this typical GMS.

The Three Springs vineyard is where the original Schild family estate is located.
Situated on historic Narrow Road at Rowland Flat, this vineyard sits at 380 metres above sea level. Vineyards at this altitude are traditionally much lower yielding than vineyards planted on the Barossa Valley floor meaning the grapes from these vines are regarded as higher quality fruit, as this merlot clearly shows.
