Schild Estate Narrow Road Shiraz Cabernet 2022 from the Narrow Road Vineyard in the Barossa Valley is a seriously impressive, limited‑release red that takes classic Shiraz–Cabernet and gives it a finely tuned, modern Barossa polish. This Narrow Road Shiraz Cabernet 2022 is built for both pleasure now and graceful cellaring.

In the glass it is deep dark ruby, with vibrant aromas of dark plum, creamy black berry fruit, cassis, milk chocolate and vanilla bean, laced with dried spice, bay leaf, violets, ink and a bright mineral lift. The palate rolls with intense dark plum and chocolate, blackcurrant and aromatic herbs, all kept in check by superfine, lattice‑like tannins that give line, structure and a sustained, long finish.

This Schild Estate Narrow Road Shiraz Cabernet absolutely shines with slow‑roasted lamb shoulder, beef rib roast, venison pies, braised beef cheeks or a rich chargrilled mushroom and rosemary dish. It is also a natural with hard cheeses and special‑occasion dinners, especially if you are pulling out something a bit fancy for guests in Adelaide.
