Sourced from vines that were 13 years old at the time of the vintage, this is a compelling cellar-aged release for collectors of traditional, powerful Barossa Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Seven Acre Shiraz was produced from 13-year-old vines in the Barossa Valley.

In a sense, it’s more like the reedy old Creek Block to sniff, because of its muddy, swampy base tones. Those aside, it’s all ripe red berries of myriad facets, in a really rich fruitcake bouquet, with well-cooked spice and rind. In wicked juxtaposition, shots of Parade Gloss boot polish bounce neatly off a rich whiff of Chanel Number 5. The palate’s typical Greenock Creek, full, soft, silky and unctuous, but with really good natural-looking acidity as well as the usual extremely fine-grained tannin. The flavours show the increasing maturity of the Seven Acre vines; this is more complex wine than this vineyard has previously given us. At first, the acidity seems overt, but with time it slides beneath the surface of the usual Holy Syrup, only to reappear in the puckery, gum-sucking aftertaste.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“Layers of gorgeous fruit, voluptuousness, density, great purity, and a finish that lasts nearly 40 seconds.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenock Creek Vineyards \u0026amp; Cellars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seven Acre Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 years at vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 months in new and older American oak, as reported by Robert Parker\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Still Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Casey Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45776206626902,"sku":"5075022816","price":124.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/408_1999_Greenock_Creek_Seven_Acre_Shiraz_750ml_0608d68b-73f9-42e9-bfe2-8131940790a1.jpg?v=1790669886","url":"https:\/\/caseycellars.com.au\/products\/1999-greenock-creek-vineyards-cellars-seven-acre-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Casey Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
