[SOLD-OUT] Greenock Creek Jaensch Block Shiraz 2019

 

"Bit of a game changer here with Greenock Creek slowly widening its sourcing from its traditional home of Seppeltsfield and Marananga to Moppa. It’s a good move adding some different accents to the Greenock Creek range, although I can’t see a Greenock Creek Eden Valley Shiraz coming anytime soon……

With a long history for their other wines and settled winemaking I can see this wine potentially changing a little over time as the team at Greenock Creek come to grips with what works best for this site. It’s unmistakably Greenock Creek with a deep ruby colour and full flavoured style with lashings of ripe chocolatey and berry liqueur fruits. There is delicious generosity of flavour, particularly on the palate with supple tannins providing a decent backbone. Oak just seems a little heavy on this for mine but will come back in time. That said, for many Greenock Creek fans that will only add to the experience." - Angus Hughson, Wine Pilot

 

"Harvested from the Westlake family’s Moppa vineyards, this first vintage release proudly shows the rich and complex character of this special sub-region.

Effortless, silken structure carries notes of wild game (vineyard rabbit and roo) and fresh charcuterie. Suggestions of complex cranberry and early picked cherry are shrouded with scents of white rose.

Planted in the Moppa Hills, on land first settled in the 1850s and farmed by sucessive generations of Kalleske's, Materne's, Severin's and Jaensch's, the Westlake vineyards are a winegrowing utopia of varying soil profiles, geology, aspect and climate.

We're privileged to be working with Darren and Suz Westlake to show the character of their fruit in all of its depth and intensity." - Greenock Creek
