2018 Greenock Creek Seven Acre Shiraz 750ml

Overview

A powerful single-vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz from Greenock Creek, the 2018 Seven Acre combines remarkable concentration with savoury detail and structural freshness. Hand harvested from the estate vineyard in Seppeltsfield, it was basket pressed and matured for 21 months in seasoned American oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Critic Reviews

95 Points — Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
“Deep, dark and inky in the glass. Super-ripe aromas of plum conserve, blackberry jam, sweet spice, cedar and mocha. Concentrated, deep, dark and brooding flavours, powerful. Plum, mulberry, spice and graphite…”

93 Points — Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion
“Cassis and blackcurrant jam define density and ripeness with crunch and carry. Think vintage port style in aroma and flavour. Dark chocolate American oak, fine-grained tannins and bright, powdery acidity sit comfortably on a long finish.”
