Nicks Wine Merchant awards 94 POINTS for our Sparkling

Chantal MacClelland — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:21:23 +0000

This well made sparkling Shiraz pours with a good frothy dark red tinged mousse. Deep dark red colour with exceptionally fine bead showing good persistence. Lifted ripe blackberry and dark plum aromas dominate the nose followed by some liquorice, a touch of earth and spice. Full bodied the palate delivers ripe succulent flavours of dark plum, liquorice and blackberry with a touch of underlying leather and spice. Almost creamy like mouthfeel. Long aftertaste of blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and vanillin oak.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Chantal MacClelland — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:10:06 +0000

So far as accolades for a wine go, on either a domestic or international level, inclusion in The Wine Spectator Top 100 is about as big as they come. The Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz 2010 has done that and more.

Harvest 2013 – The End is in Sight

Scott Hazeldine — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:21:28 +0000

Now deep into harvest, slightly sleep deprived and bleary eyed, we are just catching our breath long enough to give you a quick update on the progress of harvest before diving back in for the long, final run home. It has been frenetic, but the end is in sight with all varieties other than Grenache and Mataro now safely in the door.

The low yields and warm weather has ensured that the fruit has continued to ripen early and steadily leading to a fairly constant flow into the winery and a bit of the usual logistical juggling of fermenter space. Whilst the crop may be down, the quality looks pretty exciting from the winemakers point of view with Shiraz and Cabernet both showing great colour, a strong varietal stamp, vibrant dark berry fruit and balanced firm tannins. Although very early days, there is definite potential from the 2013 crop.

A few more coffees for the team and one final push this week will leave us with just a few later ripening blocks left to harvest in the run up to Easter. Bring it on!
