[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz 2020

 

“If you are after a full-bodied, impressively concentrated shiraz, this might be right up your alley. It's no wallflower, weighing in at 16% alcohol, but the balance is there and the fruit, cascading layers of ripe satsuma plum and blackberries, is a thing of wonder. There's some assertive fine-ground tannin, dark chocolate-dipped raspberries, plenty of spice and licorice and it's a wonderful, voluptuous sashay of fruit across your palate.” - James Halliday

 

“2020 was the second in two very warm, very dry vintages in the Barossa, but despite the conditions, I have found many of the wines to show vitality and energy in their fruit spectrums. The fruit for this 2020 Shiraz Alice's is from Seppeltsfield in the Barossa, and the high-octane, high-alcohol style really catapults this wine into the stratosphere. What I will say, with high-quality wines imbued with high alcohol, it is possible for them to achieve a strange kind of LOUD balance, as this wine has. All things are in place, but this a boisterous, brooding, muscular and resin-y example of Barossa Shiraz. It will drink beyond the 10-year window I have outlined; however, I look for fresh/primary fruit in wine, and this10-year mark is where I determine that will morph into a more tertiary space.” - Wine Advocate
