Description

A stunning expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz, the Greenock Creek 2020 Shiraz showcases fruit from some of the best vineyard sites in the region, including Moppa, Tanunda, Lyndoch, and Rosedale. Despite challenging weather conditions, this wine delivers the classic Greenock Creek signature of deep colour, rich flavour, and abundant structure.

Aged for 20 months in a combination of French and American oak, the wine reveals layers of dark berries, warm spices, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is rich, with fine, silky tannins leading to a long, lingering finish. A wine of immense depth and complexity, it's a must-have for lovers of Barossa Shiraz.

Winemaker's Notes

The 2020 vintage presented challenges with lower-than-average rainfall and warmer-than-usual conditions, but careful vineyard management resulted in low yields of concentrated, high-quality fruit. The wine spent 20 months in oak (10% new French oak, with the balance in seasoned French and American oak), resulting in a structured, flavour-packed Shiraz with silky tannins and layers of fruit.

Further Information About this Wine

Greenock Creek 2020 Shiraz is sourced from small parcels of fruit across key Barossa sites, including Moppa, Tanunda, Lyndoch, and Rosedale. The vineyards are situated in ideal locations, where micro-climates, soil profiles, and elevations combine to create long-lived wines with depth and structure. The fruit was handpicked and fermented separately in open fermenters before being aged in a mix of seasoned and new French and American oak for 20 months. The result is a wine with deep red and purple colours, intense aromas of dark berries and warm spices, and a rich, silky finish that speaks to the Barossa’s great Shiraz tradition.
