DESCRIPTION

Varieties:  Shiraz
Region:  Barossa Valley
Eyes: Deep, dark ruby.
Nose: Full, soft and layered with aromas of vibrant blackberries and blood plum fruit. These are coupled with secondary more subtle hints of cedar wood, fresh vanilla bean, pan forte and clove spice.
Mouth: Intense primary fresh plum flavors show again on the palate, where they hold their presence all the way through to roll out soft and “pillowy” at the finish. A firmly present, but fine tannin framework provides just enough focus and lift for the fruit to ensure added complexity, but retaining vibrancy to the mouth flavors of this wine.
Winemaking Notes: Every so often there are parcels of wine that generate tremendous excitement amongst the winemakers at Schild Estate. We set this aside to make PRÄMIE, the wine that defines the best of the vintage and the land on which it was grown.
Shiraz fruit was selected from two special sites, our Liebich and Angus Brae blocks high up on the Eastern Hills. Meticulously handled to allow the vineyard to reach its fullest expression in the glass, pure lifted blue and black berries with hints of graphite and clove give way to a rich, dynamic palate showing great control. Finesse and length.
