The wine shows deep red and purple colors in the glass and fragrant notes of dark berries and warm spices on the nose. The palate offers up an abundance of rich flavor, framed by silky tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Thrust into the international wine spotlight (thanks to eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication – The Wine Advocate), Greenock Creek remains an iconic standard-bearer for powerful, long-lived Barossa Valley red wines. In addition to small parcels of fruit from their own vineyards at Seppeltsfield and Marananga, in 2019 their winemaking team identified vineyard sites at Moppa, Tanunda, Lyndoch and Rosedale, with the combination of micro-climate, topographical and geological structure, as well as elevation and aspect, required to produce long-lived wines of deep color, abundant flavor and great structure – the classic Greenock Creek style. Also pleasing, is the successful creation of a wine at this quality level, with a little more availability than the rest of the single vineyard offerings, and without the sticker shock.
