February 2017 Connoisseur

Schild Estate GMS Barossa
They say nothing worthwhile is ever easy—but drinking this wine is the exception. The velvety taste of berries and the mild zing of pepper on the nose make this well-structured blend easy to drink, and oh so easy to love. Pairs well with a comfortable Friday night at home.

It’ll come as no surprise that Halliday, a top Australian wine critic, rated this wine 5 stars. The fresh citrus and fruit purity provide an elegant and complex taste. Pour a glass with a blue cheese and walnut salad or scallops, and no matter what the forecast is—it’ll feel like a sunny day.
