A boutique, hands on operation on Roennfeldt Road, amidst the rolling hills of Seppeltsfield between the hamlets of Greenock and Marananga at the western end of Barossa. The vineyard is small and its meagre yields are further limited by a fastidious pruning throughout the growing season, followed by a meticulous sorting of grapes at vintage. Alice is fashioned to the traditional, old world style of Barossa Shiraz, laden with brooding black bramble fruit and soily, bucolic charm, seasoned by an evolving complexity of piquant Rhone spice.
Greenock Creek have been crafting limited amounts of bespoke wines for a quarter of a century. An ancient stone cottage serves as the wineworks, all fruit is grown on the property and every bunch of berries is scrutinized before inclusion. Soils under the Alice block tend to be slatey siltstones, providing good drainage while forcing vines to struggle. Plantings were progressively added ever since the site was acquired by the Waugh family and vines are now all fully mature. Shiraz is treated to large, shallow open masonary fermenters, pumped over, chilled and basket pressed, racked into a mix of seasoned and new American oak hogsheads for malolactic and an extravagant twenty seven months maturation.
TASTING NOTES
Deep scarlet, blackish hue. A savoury nose of tomato leaf and leather, fruit mince and meatyness over the Barossa earthiness of slate, gun barrel and dust. A lithe, supple palate showing an intensity of dark brooding fruit flavours and restrained tannic complexity, blackcurrant lozenge, beetroots and pitch kept vital by a spray of bracing steely acids. Engaging and memorable, the richness and endowments to evolve magnificently.
 Greenock Creek
Industry savant Robert Parker once named Greenock Creek the greatest Shiraz he had ever tasted, it's the achievement of good old fashioned principles in the art of winemaking
Greenock Creek have always been a genuine estate winery, the highly traditionalist winegrowing team have been dragged screaming and kicking into the 21st century. People who are familiar with them, know that they enjoy the simple pleasure of growing grapes and producing fine wines. They consider themselves to be stubbborn old dogs who still believe in a lot of core values, basic principles like trust and honesty, integrity and hard work, laughter, family and friends. The estate was launched in 1988 with two wines, 1986 Creek Block Shiraz and 1988 Chardonnay. Life was simple back then, it meant working long days which were physically tiring, but immensely rewarding. Tight cash flow, curculio beetles and salvation jane were all part and parcel of accepting life on the land. Greenock Creek»
