2016 Schwarz Wine Co Schiller Shiraz, Barossa Valley
A$65.80
2016 Schwarz Wine Co Schiller Shiraz, Barossa Valley, a very Barossa kind of Shiraz, yet with an European edge to it. Ripe cherry, satsuma plum with dark chocolate, black olive and a spiced oak element. It is not shy, but its kind of elegant at the same time. I didn't want to like it as much as I did. Lamb chops, with duck fat roasted spuds

The fruit sourced for this wine comes from the sixth-generation Schiller Family vineyard at Hallett Valley in the Barossa. The 400 Shiraz vines planted by Carl August Otto Schiller in 1881 are something to be treasured.
Made from a mere 400 vines, planted in 1881. It's a hearty, deep-set, seductive wine with freshness kept paramount. It slinks along the tongue in satiny fashion, runs with the flavours of redcurrant, blackberry, coal and caramel, and trails impressively out through an extended finish. Barossa shiraz in all its glory. Straps of flavour-drenched tannin will help ensure a very long future.
The 400 vines planted by Carl August Otto Schiller in 1881 were saved from the bulldozers at the last moment in the Barossa Valley Vine Pull Scheme, allowing this wine to be made and enjoyed today. There's a lot of oak to go with the fruit, so patience is needed. In 10 years this will knock your socks off.
