Schild Estate Ben Schild Reserve Shiraz 750mL
The Schild Estate Ben Schild Reserve Shiraz is a profound expression of Barossa Valley terroir, offering a rich tapestry of flavours rooted in tradition. This wine serves as a tribute to Ben Schild, the patriarch of the Schild family, crafted from select grapes grown in a single vineyard overlooking Lyndoch.
Produced by Schild Estate Wines in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, this Shiraz stands out for its deep connection to the land and its meticulous ageing process in a blend of French, American, and Hungarian oak for 18 months.
The palate is full-bodied and enveloping, with intense notes of liquorice, blackberry, and dark plum. It offers a smooth, mouth-filling attack with layered dark plums, blackcurrant, and chocolate, surrounded by a fine tannin frame.
At 14.5% ABV, it is a robust and spicy wine, perfectly suited for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own to appreciate its complexity and depth.
