Schild Estate
Schild Estate wines are created with authenticity and passion. From real earth in the Southern Barossa by generations of a family who have made that place their home.
Ed Schild purchased the Tweedies Gully vineyard in 1977, noting that with its westerly aspect, high altitude and sandy loam soils, the vineyard was a perfect fit for premium Riesling production.
Taking advantage of the cooling afternoon gully winds, particularly in the Summer, the vineyard whilst located on the Barossa Valley side of the line shows a number of characters more akin to its close neighbour, Eden valley.
A single vineyard expression of this variety and now such an important part of the Schild stable, we can’t imagine life before we made Riesling from this unique patch of Barossa dirt.

The Schild Estate Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a genuine expression of this great variety from a select and particular part of the Barossa. Our quest has been to produce a wine with great varietal definition and a real sense of place.
Colour: Dark red garnet red.
Bouquet: Classic varietal Cabernet nose with plenty of ripe red and black berry fruit and hints of sandlewood and cedar.
Palate: A powerful but elegant palate with a vibrant, lifted varietal fruit profile showing black berries, dark plums and a hint of Morello cherry. The fruit is framed by classically structured tannins which have benefited from the slow ripening vintage and time in oak to contribute wonderful length, subtlety and ripeness. There is a final lift of fruit to perfectly balance the finish
Winemakers: Scott Hazeldine and Alex MacClelland
