A fantastic 2018 Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, made from 50 year old vines, Thomas white's best signature collection. Basket pressed and aged in seasoned French oak. The fragrant bouquet shows blackberry, mulberry, vanilla oak and cake spice aromas, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate that's plump and flavoursome.

The Twin Oaks Barossa Reserve Shiraz is a selection of 2 outstanding vineyards providing aromas of dark berries and herbs with a hint of spice. The palate carries the themes and is full and delicious with mouth watering acidity keeping a lovely balance. "A magnificent rendition of the variety; the hugely complex bouquet shows dark fruit intensity with seductive notes of dark chocolate, dried flower, clove and cedar. It's immensely powerful and lavish with multi-layered mouthfeel and loads of delectable flavours, while remaining balanced and structured. Hugely gratifying. At its best: now to 2037. Nov 2020." Wine Orbit - 96 Points.

Every so often there are parcels of wine that generate tremendous excitement amongst the winemakers at Schild Estate. They set this aside to make Prämie, the wine that defines the best of the vintage and the land on which it was grown. Intense primary fresh plum flavours show again on the palate, where they hold their presence all the way through to roll out soft and pillowy at the finish. A firmly present, but fine tannin framework provides just enough focus and lift for the fruit to ensure added complexity, but retaining vibrancy to the mouth flavours of this Shiraz.
