I have noticed that this winery is showing up here in town/Edmonton Alberta.
So far have seen the Shiraz, a Riesling and just today the Frontignac, all in one store.
Any insights would be appreciated, which to drink now and any need some cellaring? I suspect the Riesling might need a few years?

Do a forum search with Schild as the keyword Bob - it's a pretty quick way to find some of the information you're after.
Cheers,
Ian

Thanks David, I was just wondering about drink now or cellar? Valid point as last night I opened an Alkoomi Shiraz/Viognier and it took 4/5 hours to open up!! Entry level Schild Shiraz, do they need time?

I have a few schild shiraz which Iam cellaring, the 02, 03 and the 04.
I would be inclined to think they are "drink now" wines. I am just trying these vintages to see how they age.

The ex Winemaker from Schild (Daniel Eggleton) now has his own winery called Creed Wines in the Barossa. I tried their Shiraz / Viognier with a T-Bone steak in a hotel in Adelaide on Monday. Just the one glass which really went well with the steak.
The wine is bloody good and I'm now on the mailing list...
