The iconic Schobers Vineyard is contour planted on rolling hills at the southern end of the famous wine region in South . The premium quality dry-grown vineyard of 120 hectares was first planted in 1977 and was acquired by the Murphy and Phelps in 2009. Schobers is amongst the top-rated red wine producing vineyards in Australia. Its unique red clay over limestone soils consistently produces complex wines rich in concentration, with outstanding regional character and cellaring potential. Fruit sourced from this vineyard has produced numerous multi award- winning wines over the years, including the prized Jimmy Watson Trophy in 1995 for the Leasingham Classic Clare Shiraz. Schobers wines are made by the highly acclaimed winemakers David O’Leary and Nick Walker, whose winery is adjacent to the vineyard. This proximity ensures the grapes are harvested from selected blocks when they are at their optimum ripeness. Schobers stems from the German word for ‘haystacks’. The families of this iconic vineyard felt that acquiring such a rare and special property was like finding a needle in a haystack. This wine is a tribute to Schobers and the Clare Valley, a soft and satisfying Shiraz crafted to be enjoyed young.
