Winemaker Notes
This humdinger is heading in the same direction as the legendary 2000 Roennfeldts Road Cabernet- it seems to have more varietal definition than many GC Cabernets have shown. While it has a littleof the struck flint/dolomite acridity that the new Seven Acre Shiraz displays, the Cabernet variety manifests itself here with hints of tea and the green methoxypyrazine/phenolic edge of tomato leafor deadly nightshade. There are leaves amongst the blackberries, too. Bitter chocolate hints say its Barossa, with classic Cabernet mint arriving cheekily in the finish. Its a gorgeous velvety wine ofimmense intensity and opulence. In fact, its fruits so big and strong that it took three days to begin smelling of any oak.

Greenock Creek Wines is situated at Seppeltsfield in the rolling hills between the hamlets of Greenock and Marananga, on the western edge of the Barossa Valley. The winery's first release was in 1988, when it sold a 1986 Shiraz and a 1988 Chardonnay from its tiny cellar door situated beneath the Waugh's 150 year old stone cottage. Since then the winery has planted, grafted or acquired more vines, and now specialises in premium red wine production. Only grapes grown on the property are used, making it truly an estate winery. The range of wines includes five Shiraz, two Cabernet Sauvignons and a Grenache, all processed at the winery on the Waugh’s Roennfeldt Road property. The wines are released each year in early September and are sold through cellar door, mail order, a selected number of retail outlets in Australia and a small quantity via export. If there is a "Cult" Australian winery, this is it!
