96–98 Points – Wine Advocate (Robert Parker) | A Two-Decade-Aged Barossa Icon

The Seven Acre Shiraz is Greenock Creek's most structured and age-worthy single-vineyard bottling — a wine built for the long haul. The 2005 is now 21 years old, well into its prime drinking window, and represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience one of the Barossa's most iconic wines at its absolute peak.

My Wine Man on Greenock Creek

This is for the serious collector or the wine lover who wants to drink history. Greenock Creek is owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh — one of South Australia's most iconic wineries, built on old-vine terroir and meticulous, uncompromising winemaking. Robert Parker scored this wine 96–98 points in barrel and on release, and it has only gained complexity with age.

Tasting Notes

Tar, mineral and earth on the nose, with smoked meat and blueberry leaping from the glass. Full-bodied but more restrained than the Alices — more austere, with greater structure and apparent acidity that has integrated beautifully over two decades. 96–98 Points — Wine Advocate.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with firm, structured tannins and a long, mineral finish. Now in its prime drinking window — drink now through 2030+. Decant for at least 2–3 hours.

Food Pairing

A 21-year-old Barossa icon of this stature demands a serious cut. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Cape Grim Rib-Eye Steak from My Meat Man — dry-aged and char-grilled medium-rare with bone-marrow butter, the rich marbling and beefy depth are a magnificent match for Seven Acre's tar, smoked-meat and mineral two-decades-aged complexity. A pairing that does justice to both.
