Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz 2022 from the historic Moorooroo vineyard on the banks of Jacob’s Creek in the southern Barossa is a luxurious, old‑vine Shiraz that feels every bit a special‑occasion bottle, with incredible depth and seamless power. This Moorooroo Shiraz 2022 shows why the label has become a cult Barossa reference for serious collectors.

In the glass, expect dense, opaque colour and a deeply layered nose of blackberry, dark cherry, dark chocolate, licorice and earth, threaded with cloves, cedar, toasty oak and a plush, creamy richness. The palate is unctuous, mouth‑filling and velvety, with fruit weight that swamps the firm, fine tannins, carrying flavours long and persistent while staying beautifully balanced and energetic.

This Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz is magic with slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, dry‑aged rib‑eye, venison, rich beef cheeks or a deeply flavoured mushroom and truffle dish. It is built to reward extended cellaring, so it’s a smart pick for the cellar in Adelaide, to open on big family occasions over the next decade or more.
