Winemaker Notes
Typical of the vineyard, this Seven Acre shows that pretty dusting of caster sugar and lollyshop on opening. There arewafts of lavender and violet, too, with time. Strangely for a wine of such strength, these are usually smells I relate towater soluble aromas, as opposed to the alcohol-soluble ones seen in the Apricot Block. Below these top notes lies awell of essence of blackberry and dried fig heady, sweet, syrupy alcohol-driven aromas with coconut oak atop.

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!
