Its Origins
Ben and Alma Schild first moved to the Barossa Valley from Lameroo in the Murray Mallee in 1952. The first vineyard that the family purchased is located up the top of Steingarten Road, near Rowland Flat, where the original homestead is still situated. In 1956 Ben Schild died suddenly and Ed, being the youngest of eight children and the only son to be living at home, stayed to run the family property at the age of 16. Ed Schild’s enthusiasm for the region saw him steadily grow the landholdings of the Schild Family, which today includes 12 unique vineyards. Within this large amount of land is one small patch of 170 year old shiraz vines which produces the iconic Moorooroo Shiraz.
What The Critics Say
93/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim
"Sweetly ripe and inviting with dark plum, cherry, clove and toasted nut aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity, wonderfully supported by silky texture and fine-grained tannins, making it delectable and lingering. At its best: now to 2035. www.cwwines.com. April 2024." Drink 2024 - 2035
91/100 Halliday's Wine Companion, Dave Brookes
"Bright magenta/purple with aromas of satsuma plum, blueberry and black cherry fruits along with hints of baking spices, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, roasting meats and earth. Darkly spiced with abundant black fruits, powdery tannin and just a suggestion of dried herbs as it fades." Drink 2025 - 2035
