Characteristics: 
Dark bright ruby in colour. Silky nose with plum aromas, dark cherry, raspberry and subtle glimpses of vanilla bean, clove and nutmeg spice. In the mouth, the same juicy primary fruit and vanilla bean character alongside flavours of mocha and a faint graphite core. The soft tannins ensure balance. Drink to 2028.

Food pairing: loves a chateaubriand and stews (coq au vin!). Try with your best homemade lasagne or pasta.

About the winery:
Schild Estate wines are created with authenticity and passion. Grapes are sourced from a number of selected vineyards around Lyndoch and Rowland Flat in Barossa Valley. Winemaker is Scott Hazeldine.

The Barossa wine region in South Australia is a contemporary region with a European tradition of food and wine that spans 7 generations. It has a long history of making full-bodied reds and robust white wines. Ed Schild is a Barossa Valley grape grower who first planted a small vineyard at Rowland Flat in 1952. The flagship wine is made from 170-year-old shiraz vines. The Schild portfolio comprises pure Shiraz, Cabernet or GSM blend, sparkling white and red, an unwooded Chardonnay and a vibrant Moscato. Each wine truly reflects terroir and varietal character.
