Greenock Creek Seven Acres Shiraz 2018

Bluestone slate defines this single site Shiraz from the Seppeltsfield sub-region of the Barossa. The vineyard was planted in 1990 on the Radford Road property. The wine sees an extended period in American oak. The team at Greenock Creek Wines see this as their ‘Reserve Shiraz’. Fermentation is in traditional open masonry fermenters before basket pressing and an extended stay in American oak.  Dark magenta in colour with lifted aromatics. Spices, black fruits, florals and a note which is very reminiscent of chocolate mud cake. The palate offers a lovely plushness right through to the finish. Fine and yet firm tannins, this is supple and seamless. This wine is so young and so long. An amazing finish. A stunning Shiraz which will go ten to twenty years easy.
