Schild Estate is in the Barossa Valley. It was started in the 1950s by Ben and Alma Schild, who bought land to grow grapes and make wine. But when Ben died suddenly in 1956 the then 16-year-old Ed Schild, the only child of eight still living at home, took over the vineyard and winery management. Today the estate has 450 acres of vineyards and produces 50,000 cases of wine annually. Schild makes a sizable portfolio of Shiraz and Chardonnay, including the Estate Moorooroo Limited Release Shiraz, an old-vine Shiraz produced in quantities of about 200 cases a year.
