The undulating slopes at Moppa provide perfect conditions for growing Grenache. The ancient soils, rich in ironstone and marble, contribute to the complex flavour profile of this wine. The decision to retain whole berries in the ferment adds layers of juicy red fruit. The wine spent 8 months in seasoned oak, allowing the fruit to shine while balancing it with structure and subtle spice from the cool ripening season.

Best enjoyed now for its freshness and vibrancy, but will reward careful cellaring for up to 5 years as it develops more complexity and softness.

The Greenock Creek 2023 Grenache comes from a single block of Grenache vines planted on Moppa’s eastern slopes, located at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley’s western edge. The ancient red-brown loam soils and the marble-ironstone seam beneath them result in low-yielding vines with small, flavour-packed berries. This Grenache spent 7-10 days fermenting with whole berries retained for juicy red fruit character, then basket-pressed to a combination of seasoned French and American oak for 8 months. White pepper, raspberry, and mulberry notes come together over fine tannins for a fresh and delicate finish.
