The Nitschke Road Shiraz block was planted by my mother and father in 1968 in Bethany near the base of the Eastern Barossa Range. The vineyard is still pruned and picked by hand and the soils of loam over brown and red clays results in a wine of considerable concentration and drive.

Rich, opulent fruit is the reoccurring theme with this vineyard and it always seems to show great balance and texture year in, year out.

The Nitschke Block Shiraz was the first wine made by Jason Schwarz back in 2001.

This Shiraz, from 400 vines planted in 1881 is Barossa history in a bottle. Hand-picked from the vineyard still managed by the sixth generation of the Schiller family.

First vintage produced was in 2008 by Jason.  

The family Grenache block on Thiele Road in Bethany remains one of Jason’s favourite blocks. The first vintage of the Thiele Road Grenache was made by Jason Schwarz in 2002 and celebrates his love of this diverse variety. The gnarled, old vines were planted in 1941 and they produce fantastic fruit.

*There was a label design change from the 2013 vintage. The 2010 Vintage is labelled with the previous design as shown in the first image

Nitschke Block Shiraz holds a unique place in the family's heart, as it was planted in 1968—the same year Jason's parents were married. This special wine captures the essence of the family's history and legacy, with its rich and well-structured character. A subtle elegance intertwines with elements of old and new oak, creating a remarkable drinking experience that speaks to the craft of Jason's winemaking journey.

We have made a limited number of the The Schiller Shiraz Double Magnums available. 

The Schiller Shiraz is a wine not only rich in flavour but rich in history too. The fruit sourced for this wine comes from the sixth-generation Schiller Family vineyard at Hallett Valley in the Barossa.

After a last-minute reprieve from the bulldozers, the 400 Shiraz vines planted by Carl August Otto Schiller in 1881 are something to be treasured.
