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 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.
