Mourvèdre 2018
MOURVÈDRE 2018 Celebrating 25 years the Three Bridges range was born from Bill Calabria’s dedication to creating a strong reputation for premium Riverina wines. The range now includes award-winning varietals from several of Australia’s most renowned regions, including the Barossa Valley. Each wine in the Three Bridges range begins with a commitment to selecting exceptional parcels of high quality fruit to deliver balanced full-bodied wines of outstanding character. The label pays homage to the three bridges built in the early 1900s, adjacent to the winery, supplying water from the iconic Snowy Mountain scheme to the vineyards of the Riverina, Australia. Region: Barossa Valley, South Australia. Vineyard: Three Bridges Mourvèdre grapes are from the renowned Barossa Valley from vines planted in 1914. Bouquet: Bouquet is full of rose petal and pot pourri fragrants and some earthy, spice. Initially closed but opens up in the glass. Palate: Layered and textured. Palate is tight and poised. Some floral notes with tannins layered and gravelly. Suggested Cuisine: For the meat lovers - beef short ribs. For the vegetarians - something along the lines of wild rice and shitake mushrooms Winemaking: The fruit was transported to the brayne road winery where it was fermented in a small stainless vessel for 7 days. It was pressed via a half tonne basket press and completed mLF and maturation in french oak hogs heads for about 12 months. Season: 2018 was a lovely vintage, unfortunately there just wasn’t enough! Yields were down substantially but the season was kind with no extremes during the growing season.

2018 Barossa Valley Merlot the Vineyard the Three Springs Vineyard Is Where the Original Schild Family Estate Is Located
Schild Estate Wines are created with an authenticity and passion that comes from generations of a family who have made their home in the Southern Barossa. 2018 Barossa Valley Merlot The Vineyard The Three Springs vineyard is where the original Schild family estate is located. Situated on historic Narrow Road at Rowland Flat, this vineyard sits at 380 metres above sea level. Vineyards at this altitude are traditionally much lower yielding than vineyards planted on the Barossa Valley floor meaning the grapes from these vines are regarded as higher quality fruit. The Vintage Reasonable spring and winter rain saw adequate soil moisture during the growing season with healthy canopies heading into the growing season. January and February were dry, slowing the pace of ripening down and keeping yields lower than initially predicted. Moisture and canopy management were therefore key to reducing stress and maintaining health. When that was achieved the red wines produced from the region in 2018 are of high quality and showing genuine promise early on. Technical Notes This wine is fermented in stainless steel open fermenters before undergoing secondary malolactic fermentation in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads. There is a focus on minimal handling and the use of oak for structural framing rather than imparting significant oak flavour. The wine is matured for 12- 14 months in barrel before usually undergoing a light filtration and fining if deemed appropriate prior to bottling. Tasting Notes Dark bright ruby in colour. An inviting almost silky nose is marked by prominent fruit aromas of plum, dark cherry and raspberry which float above and around more subtle glimpses of vanilla bean and clove and nutmeg spice.

2016 Barossa Valley Grenache Mourvèdre Shiraz the Vineyard the Three Springs Vineyard Is Located Alongside the Original Schild Family Estate
Schild Estate Wines are created with an authenticity and passion that comes from generations of a family who have made their home in the Southern Barossa. 2016 Barossa Valley Grenache Mourvèdre Shiraz The Vineyard The Three Springs Vineyard is located alongside the original Schild Family Estate. Planted in 1929 the grenache vines are classified as ‘Survivour Vines’ in the Barossa Valley Old Vine Charter. The mourvédre for this wine is grown in ‘Kleeman’s Block’ where vines grown high on the Eastern Hills overlooking Rowland Flat. Shiraz is taken from our ‘Workshop’ and ‘Angus Brae’ vineyards taking premium fruit from each to blend into our GMS. The Vintage A mild, December and January with cool nights saw ideal conditions prevail towards the end of the 2016 growing season. The result was a measured pace of ripening which ensured the balanced development of sugar and flavours in the fruit along with the retention of natural grape acid before some later season warmth allowed some real fruit presence to develop. Technical Notes Each variety is fermented separately in stainless steel open fermenters. Ferment temperatures are a touch lower than for our other reds and oak is used sparingly with a desire to retain some fruit freshness and softness to the wine. Tasting Notes Clear, bright dark ruby in colour. Prominent lifted, aromas of dark cherries, plums and red currants that sit alongside slightly more subtle glimpses of some darker fruit, violet flower perfume and pepper spice. The vibrant red and dark berry juicy fruit mix of Grenache and Shiraz shows early on the palate providing a pillowy, velvet like feel to the wine early on.

South Australia Wine Cluster
HARVARD UNIVERSITY The South Australian Wine Cluster Microeconomics of Competitiveness Andrew Nipe Anna York Dennis Hogan Jonathan Faull Yasser Baki 7 May 2010 Prof. Michael E. Porter, Microeconomics of Competitiveness, Harvard Business School 1 Executive Summary Australia has historically benefitted from economic growth premised on its rich natural endowments, despite its relative isolation from Old World markets. While service-related sectors have emerged as growing portions of the economy, commodities continue to comprise a disproportionate fraction of the economy relative to OECD averages. A series of economic reforms enacted between 1983-96 opened a comparatively protected economy to international competition, with significant gains to labour productivity and international trade. Despite attempts to revive structural reforms, political impasse and continued economic growth premised on endowments, have thwarted further reform. It is argued that Australia must address its consistently inflexible labour markets, declining labour productivity, comparatively low rates of innovation, and an increasing skills misalignment relative to demand to lift the country onto higher development path. South Australia is Australia’s fifth largest economy, correlated with its fifth largest population. Through the course of the twentieth century, the state’s economy transitioned from one premised on agriculture and extraction, to manufacturing. While the state remains the national breadbasket, this report argues that the state must address labour productivity rates below that of the national average, a skills misalignment, the lack of collaboration across the value chain, and the potentially devastating effects on agriculture on the part of climate change, to mitigate weaknesses and improve regional competitiveness. The South Australian wine cluster constitutes the largest producer and exporter of wines in Australia.
