1.5L Magnum Bottle.

Overview

A formidable single-block Barossa Valley Shiraz from Greenock Creek, presented in the highly desirable 1.5L Magnum format. The 2023 Apricot Block combines deep plum and berry fruit with savoury spice, dark chocolate and fine-grained tannins, earning an outstanding 96 points from Halliday Wine Companion. Its combination of concentration, freshness and a drinking window extending to 2045 gives this large-format release serious collector and cellaring appeal.

Vineyard

Apricot Block is sourced from seven rows of vines growing over rock and shale with seams of red clay, with yields restricted to approximately one tonne per acre. This small parcel produces a concentrated expression of Shiraz while retaining the freshness and structural definition evident in the 2023 vintage.

Critic Reviews

96 Points — Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
“Sourced from seven rows of rock and shale with seams of red clay; yields restricted to 1T/acre. Gloriously plummy fruits with blueberry and boysenberry along for the ride. Baking spices, pan juices, olive tapenade, dark chocolate, citrus blossom, cocoa nibs and plum conserve. Beautifully pure and balanced on the palate with toothsome, fine-grained tannins and a freshness that belies its fruit depth.”
