Description
Schild Estate Old And Survivor Vine grenache
Dark ruby in colour, layered with prominent aromas of blackberry hedgerow
fruit, plum skin and freshly picked strawberry ahead of teasing glimpses of
ground cumin, cracked pepper and porcini broth. On the palate dark cherry and
red currant join the ever present strawberry notes to give some upfront creamy
texture to the mouthfeel. The presence of fine, present tannins arriving later in
the piece provide genuine framing and corset the wine around the edges thus
providing a clear line of travel and a focused end point.
From two precious estate-owned vineyards that sit high in the hills of our Southern Barossa sub-region, this Grenache reflects the characteristics of the old and survivor vines that produce low-yielding, high quality fruit.
