Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2002

From young vines planted in the Cornerstone Vineyard, the 1999 Shiraz Apricot Block (aged in both new and old American oak) tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by aromatic fireworks (white flowers, pepper, sweet blackberry liqueur, and cassis). This beautifully pure, full-bodied, multidimensional, layered Shiraz exhibits low acidity as well as ripe tannin. Enjoy this stunning, flamboyant effort over the next 12-14 years.

About Winery

Greenock Creek Wines is situated at Seppeltsfield in the rolling hills between the hamlets of Greenock and Marananga, on the western edge of the Barossa Valley. The winery's first release was in 1988, when it sold a 1986 Shiraz and a 1988 Chardonnay from its tiny cellar door situated beneath the Waugh's 150 year old stone cottage. Since then the winery has planted, grafted or acquired more vines, and now specialises in premium red wine production. Only grapes grown on the property are used, making it truly an estate winery. The range of wines includes five Shiraz, two Cabernet Sauvignons and a Grenache, all processed at the winery on the Waugh's Roennfeldt Road property. The wines are released each year in early September and are sold through cellar door, mail order, a selected number of retail outlets in Australia and a small quantity via export. The wines are available from the cellar door from the release date until sold out, and a visit to the winery will be a highlight of any visit to the Barossa Valley.
