Schild Estate Edel Shiraz 2018 [WP 97]

Cellar Door 150 aud.

We are delighted to welcome another 70 year veteran of the Barossa, a winery blessed with some of the most treasured and rare vines, some amongst the oldest in the world; and an extremely limited rendition of their super premium Edel Shiraz which gets all the rock star treatment and even at full retail price has critics praising the value. Here's KG;

Another superb Barossa Shiraz – generous, bold, balanced and decadent. Only 25 barrels of this wine were made so do not hesitate as it certainly exceeds the quality of plenty of wines twice the price and more. This is quintessential Barossa Shiraz. Inky dark purple, there are blackberry notes, cloves, new leather and violets, spices and florals. Vanillin oak but there is excellent integration afoot. The palate explodes with chocolate, mocha, aniseed, coffee beans, blackcurrants, cassis and soy. Supple texture, the wine is balanced and generous with boundless energy. Good intensity and a fine line of acidity run the full length of this wine. A lingering finish, it will drink superbly for the next twelve to twenty years.
