This Greenock Shiraz is sourced from a small old single vineyard in the Hamlet of Greenock in the Western Ridge of the Barossa Valley. Gnarly old vines, that produce fruit of deep flavour and intensity, very much an old school Barossa vineyard. 10% whole bunches with the rest whole berries, fermented naturally for 12 days then basket pressed to only French oak (33% new). It remained in this same oak for 18 months before blending and settling prior to bottling.
Bottled unfined and unfiltered and is Vegan friendly.
95+ Points - Halliday Wine Companion 2027
Shiraz from the heavy, sandy loams on red clay in northern Greenock, west of the Barossa Valley; 5% whole bunch, matured in French oak, 40% new for 18 months. A saturated magenta with glossy satsuma plum, glacé cherry and blueberry over hints of baking spices, gentle crushed herbs, citrus blossom, olive tapenade, dark chocolate, judicious vanillin oak and roasting meats. Full bodied with beautifully pure black and dark fruits, a toothsome, silty tannin architecture and a long, chewy finish. A great contemporary Barossa shiraz.
