History
“Four rows of vines planted by the Jacob brothers in 1847, and saved from destruction by Ed Schild in 1984. Hand-picked, bunch-sorted, berry-sorted by table post destemmer, open-fermented, 5-8 days cold soak, 7-14-day ferment, matured for 18-24 months in 90% French/10% American oak (30% new). A great wine, the oak handling exemplary, keeping the cornucopia of purple and black fruits foremost. The mouthfeel is supple, the alcohol also exemplary. It’s history gives it an extra point.” – James Halliday
“The four rows of Ancestor Vines which make the Moorooroo Shiraz are situated in Rowland Flat and have been in the Schild Family since 1984 making them only the third custodians of these vines since being planted by the Jacob brothers in 1847.
It is the relationship between vineyards and winery that ensures that the best of each vintage is captured at every stage of the process. The Moorooroo Shiraz is handpicked before being sorted and destemmed using state-of-the-art equipment and an expert team that specialise in producing wines from precious old vines. It is traditionally open fermented before being matured in new and seasoned French Oak
