The Advertiser - 92 Points

A majority share of grenache (55%) followed by 25% mataro and 20% shiraz from vines which are an average 70-years-old creates a silky rich wine with cherry and spice through it, fresh fruit bite in the middle and plenty of roundness and ripeness adding to its generous proportions.

There's no mistaking the juicy red berry fruit from the grenache in this Barossa blend. Spice and depth come from the mataro and shiraz but it's the glorious old bush vine grenache that is allowed to sing without the use of oak. - Fergus McGhie, The Canberra Times, March 2009

The 2006 Old Bush Vine Grenache is medium ruby-coloured with a bouquet of forest floor, cassis, black cherry and blueberry. Full-bodied, supple textured, and easy going, the wine is tasty and ready to drink.

Sunday Times - Peter Forrestal 18/20

A Barossa blend that has ultra smooth texture and vibrant raspberry and mulberry flavours that linger.

Wine Enthusiast - 90 Points

A bargain by Barossa standards - or any standards for that matter - Schild Estate's GMS combines a slightly herbal note with full-on black cherry flavours, enhanced by hints of licorice and plum. Ample and round, this blend offers attractive early drinking.
