Greenock Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2018
Barossa, Australia
SUPER PREMIUM, OLD VINE BAROSSA SHIRAZ-GRENACHE MEGADEAL
Presented for sale in luxe, heavyweight bottles, this muscular small-batch release sits at the very top table of Australian blended reds.
96/100 | Ken Gargett - "Richly flavoured, this will provide a great deal of pleasure over the next eight to twelve years."
FIVE STARS 94/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Sweetly fruited and beautifully aromatic"
This is one of the great Barossa blended reds. Produced from 100 year old, single vineyard vines, it's a bold, powerful shiraz / grenache blend that has been built for the long haul - and is only now entering its ideal drinking window.
Becoming a wine of this magnitude, no expense has been spared in the winemaking process, with gentle, unobtrusive winemaking techniques capturing the hallmark qualities of each varietal. It is wonderfully cohesive with fleshy texture, silky tannins and dark berry flavours. Notes of cake spice and dark chocolate are in full-effect. Vintage 2018 was a quality growing season in the Barossa, characterised by small, high-quality yields - and this super premium blend demonstrates what the region is capable of when the stars align. It is magnificent buying.

Tasting Notes
Ken Gargett writes "From venerable old vines, 100 years in age, in the Barossa, the grapes are destalked and placed ‘uncrushed’ in stainless steel open fermenters. Hand plunging and eventual basket pressing, before a further twenty days maceration on skins and then two years in a mix of French and American oak. Near opaque maroon, we have beguiling notes of chocolate and mocha, licorice, cloves, tobacco leaves and blackberries. A hint of vanilla and toast from the oak. Powerful and bold, this is a lovely rich and ripe style with a seductive texture. Fine yet slightly firm tannins and very good length. Some may be put off by the 16.5% alcohol, but the richness and fruit more than match it. Chocolate very much continues on the palate. Richly flavoured, this will provide a great deal of pleasure over the next eight to twelve years." 96pts.
The winery writes "It's opulent and powerful, showing blackberry, toasty oak, cake spice and dark chocolate characters, leading to a richly expressed palate displaying fleshy texture and silky tannins. Wonderfully flavoursome and lingering with plenty of delicious flavours."
