Greenock Creek Wines – Barossa Valley’s Bold & Iconic Reds
Greenock Creek Wines is a name synonymous with bold, full-bodied Barossa Valley Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1978 by Michael and Annabelle Waugh, this boutique winery has become a cult favourite, producing deeply concentrated wines that have captivated wine lovers worldwide.
A Legacy of Powerful Wines
Located in the western Barossa Valley, Greenock Creek is renowned for crafting small-batch, highly expressive reds. The winery has consistently received international acclaim, particularly for its Shiraz, which showcases the intensity and power that the Barossa is famous for.
With a focus on dry-grown vineyards and traditional winemaking techniques, Greenock Creek ensures its wines are both rich and complex. Fermentation occurs in small open fermenters, and aging is done in American and French oak, allowing the wines to develop their signature deep, velvety structure.
The Barossa Valley Terroir
Greenock Creek’s vineyards are scattered across the Barossa’s western ridges, where ironstone and deep clay soils provide ideal conditions for producing robust red wines. The combination of warm days and cool nights allows for slow, even ripening, ensuring the perfect balance between fruit intensity and natural acidity.
