Understanding Greenock Creek, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley, South Australia
The Greenock Creek vineyards, with their favourable climatic conditions and fertile soils, provide an ideal setting for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The unique terroir of the Barossa Valley imparts distinct qualities to the grapes, contributing to the wine's intensity and layered complexity. The Greenock Creek winemaking team focuses on allowing the natural attributes of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape to come to the forefront. Grapes are carefully harvested, destemmed for flavour and tannin balance and fermented in open-top fermenters that promote natural heat control. The wine ages in a combination of new and seasoned French oak for 18 months, which enriches its profile with subtle hints of oak, spice and a touch of vanilla, enhancing the natural flavours without overwhelming them. Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon features dark fruit, cassis, nuances of chocolate, mint and a hint of tobacco in a rich structure with firm, well-integrated tannins. This wine has exceptional ageing potential.
