About Greenock Alices Shiraz 750ML 2023
Greenock Creek's Alice's Shiraz from the 2023 vintage is a compelling expression of old-vine Barossa Valley Shiraz, hailing from the storied Seppeltsfield district. The nose opens with an opulent cascade of dark plum, blackberry compote, and crushed violets, underpinned by a seductive thread of dark chocolate and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is richly textured and generously proportioned, with layers of ripe boysenberry, mocha, and blood orange peel weaving through a framework of fine, velvety tannins. A whisper of cedar and dried sage adds complexity and a distinctly Barossa earthiness. The finish is long, warming, and persistent, with lingering notes of espresso and dark spice that speak to the depth and character of this exceptional single-vineyard wine.
