Douglas Seabrook was the longest serving chairman of judges at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show, he adjudicated over the most memorable vintages for thirty years and held a passion for great Riesling. From a single superb site at Springton in the Adelaide Hills, an exceptional sixty year old vineyard which lies in a secluded valley and ripens much later than most other sites on the surrounding hills. It yields fruit of marvelous minerality, pristine of citrus fruit and elegant of spice, offering superlative finesse as the wine continues to evolve and become more complex with age.

The founder was William John Seabrook, born of Tasmania to a family of builders, his thirst for wine drew him to Victoria where he learned the craft of the merchant and established W.J. Seabrook & Son in 1878. Parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon are crushed and destemmed to open top fermenters for a warmish vinification, aimed at extracting bright red fruit characters and a judicious measure of sweet berry tannins. Brambles and mulberry leap from the glass, aniseed and liquorice on waves of flavour, subtle oak and tactile structure, a soft, silky finish of astonishing length.

Satisfying the growing resurgence amongst enthusiasts of grand Barossa Shiraz, for fully flavoured robust sparkling red wines, Schild are a boutique, father to son estate, who have been releasing vintages of impressive international repute.

An effervescent accord between the softness of Barossa Valley Chardonnay and masculine structure of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir. Treated to the timeless Methode Traditionelle, fermented in own bottle and reposed for an extended term on fine sedimentery yeast lees, its exquisite, creamy mousse presages an overture of cherry, biscuit and boulangerie citron confit characters, a moreish palate which continues to unravel creamy layers of complexity, but at her heart, she is clean, revitalizing and crisp.

By one of the Barossa's most internationally renowned harbingers of fine Australian wine, a big hit in America for all the right reasons. Elegantly structured and seamless, the exploit of quality fruit and skilled winemaking. This vibrant, personable Shiraz is a true expression of Barossa generosity, gracefully endowed with an attractive full bodied palate, showing exceptional balance between quality new oak and judicious alcohol, ripe acids and layers of savoury fruit.

The Schild Estate vineyards are spread out over several unique mesoclimes and soils around Lyndoch and across the southern districts of Barossa Valley. Ed Schild purchased Tweedies Gully vineyard in 1977, noting that the prime location with its westerly aspect, high altitude and sandy loam soils, would be perfect for growing extra fine Riesling. Schild encapsulates the generous style that is purely Barossa. Good acidity with lean, clean characteristics, exhibiting the tight structure and profound expression of fruit which have brought Schild so much renown.

Growing just a short distance north of Lyndoch Township, the feted vines on Schild's Liebich and Angus Brae blocks are meticulously husbanded to fully exploit the bounty of influences offered by the exceptional terroir and clime. Each vintage, certain parcels emerge as the stars. The Schild team set aside the pick of harvest for a highly deferential treatment, a minimal movement of juices throughout the vinification, as truly great wine needs to be unperturbed in the making, a generous style of unsurpassable excellence, elegance and finesse.

Come home to Mama! The Schild family have been growing Frontignac Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains for over sixty years, originally sourced by the nation's most eminent labels for bottling as rich fortified wines.

One of the new world's most exclusive, ancient vineyard wines, awaited annually by the most discerning Shiraz enthusiasts around the globe. Only ever bottled in the finest vintages, fruit is sourced from the superior Ahrens Vineyard at Lyndoch and the historic Moorooroo site at Jacobs Creek, which for more than 120 years, ended up with Orlando. Moorooroo is made from the four remaining rows of the original William Jacob Shiraz plantings, saved from the government sponsored vine pull schemes of the 1980s by estate patriarch Ed Schild.

Grapes for the stately Moorooroo super premium Shiraz are sourced from the oldest commercial vineyard in Australia, the fruit of two centuries viticulture in the Hundred of Moorooroo, between Jacob’s Creek and North Para River. Planted just eleven years after the foundation of South Australia, the ancient Moorooroo rootstock yields a wine of rare complexity, very different to the modern style of Australian Shiraz. Old vines are also very low yielding, so the most that can ever be made of Moorooroo Shiraz is two hundred cases annually.

Schild exhibits a forwardness of tropical fruit, balanced by tight brace of light citrus and refreshing acid on the finish. Immediately enjoyable whilst young and fresh, with a complexity that rewards as the wine evolves.

A selection of the finest Chardonnay from Schild's extensive holdings in the Barossa, around a backbone of fruit grown to the original Three Springs Farm and a further component from the precious Schild estate property in the hundred of Moorooroo.

Dominated by an intriguing mix of tropical and temperate orchard characters, a pure expression of Barossa Chardonnay, in a refreshingly fruit driven, unwooded styling.
