[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Apricot Block Shiraz 2018

93 POINTS - WINEPILOT! 

 

"There’s been a fair bit of mystique surrounding this Marananga district single vineyard wine, the vines planted on an old apricot orchard and the resulting shiraz said to display stone fruit characters derived perhaps from decades of fallen fruit composting the ground. Or perhaps it’s simply a case of “auto-suggestion”, the GC crew suggests. The wine has a decidedly western Barossa tar and blacksmithy note that swirls through a quite high-toned, crushed dark plum and berry nose – and there’s a decent amount of oak in the mix as well. Palate wise the energy levels are lively for what is a pretty concentrated and full-bodied piece of work – acidity and neatly ripe tannins giving balance and length. In the context of heavyweight Barossa shiraz, this is well played, even handed and dangerously more-ish. 15% alcohol" - Tony Love, Winepilot
