Winemaker Notes

As this vineyard edges toward maturity, its flavors more intensely reflect the stony nature of its soil, and we now see acrid flinty whiffs in the bouquet, like youd expect in some Loire ValleySauvignons blanc. Its alluring in a sexy macho way, and that fine mineral tension carries right through the palate. That digested, you can forget Sauvignon blanc, for this has all the contrasting crme caramel, black chocolate, and marshmallow sugar confectionery we have seen in the Seven Acre from the start. In a sense, this makes the wine desirous of extra years in the cellar, so thoseextremes of flavour draw together. More judicious - lower - alcohol than previous years magnifies this requirement, while making a better wine of it all round. Its finish is smooth, with that touch ofcrme caramel we saw in the bouquet returning to tease and satisfy. More classic Hermitage in style than any Greenock Creek I can recall.

Greenock Creek, Australia
Greenock Creek Winery Image
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!
