SCHILD ESTATE Narrow Road Vineyard Shiraz Cabernet, Barossa Valley 2019 Bottle
About this wine
It’s called ‘Narrow Road’, but the palate in this Cabernet by Schild Estate shows immense depth and scope. A wine of great opulence and intensity, it pours into the glass as a rich, ruby red.
The fruit for this wine is harvested by hand. Every element of the winemaking process is aimed at retaining optimal fruit-driven flavour. It is aged in a mixture of new and old oak.
This is an incredibly concentrated Cabernet, with fine tannins and impressive structure. Primary fruit comes through strongly, with notes of forest fruit and juicy plum. The finish is long, and lingering, with subtle alcohol warmth.

Huon Hooke
Very deep, concentrated colour, purple tints. A quite oak-infused bouquet with dark-chocolate and charred-timber nuances, a very rich and full-bodied shiraz with concentrated mocha flavour and lashings of softly drying tannins. A wine of density and fleshy depths, long finish and high potential for cellaring. Soft enough to enjoy now but time will bring more rewards.

It’s toasty and creamy and dark, its heart flooded with roasted plum and tar, milk chocolate and leather-like flavour. It rolls velvet out with a steamroller before crunching the finish with tannin, though there’s so much flavour there that the crunch too feels soft, not to mention deliberate. This is old school in a good way, bold and generous, and pillowy to the touch. Don’t expect freshness or even energy; it’s too heavy for that. Richness is what resides here.

First things first, make sure you decant. Sometimes we can forget how much decanting improves wines and in this case it is striking as it opens up the glorious aromatics and perfumes. And to the wine. It’s a 66/34 blend of shiraz and cabernet from the Barossa. It shows a savoury blackberry and dark plum aroma with a slightly cedary influence. There is immense power and concentration, yet it’s super fine and stylishly elegant. The careful use of a mix of new and old oak has been expertly harnessed to sit harmoniously with the fruit and tannin.

This is black/blue in colour, quite inky. Notes of chocolate, mocha, new leather and appealing delicatessen touches. Concentrated and plush, this is a classic Barossa version of the great Aussie blend. Young, fresh, good intensity and excellent length with fine tannins. Delicious now, but it really does have a lot of improving ahead of it. Seamless. Love it.
