The Schild family established their Barossa vineyards in 1952, and have since developed a reputation for consistency and quality in their approach to viticulture. The Semillon was picked and fermented separately to the Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel tanks. The wine was blended to a 60% Semillon and 40% Sauvignon Blanc blend according to the winemakers desire for balance, freshness and complexity of varietal characters.

An assemblage of fruit from the superlative Schild Estate vineyards in the Barossa with further components from good sites in the Adelaide Hils. Barossa Valley Semillon is identified internationally as a unique, delicate style of wine with aromatic qualities which are a reflection of the region. Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc is equally notable for it's arresting flavour profiles and sweetly pungent fruit.

Bright with pale green hints. Fresh grass and vegetative characters on the nose with hints of warm tropical fruit. The palate is complex with tropical fruits and lemon grass, finished with well balanced acidity.

Pungent aromas like gooseberries and asparagus. Sauvignon Blanc characters stand out on the palate - great flavours, tight acid and sweetness. 4 Stars; Winestate Magazine, March/April 2009
