James Halliday 96 Points — Power with Purpose from the Marananga Apricot Block

The 2021 Greenock Creek Apricot Block Shiraz is a powerful, structured single-vineyard Barossa Shiraz from one of the valley's most iconic boutique producers.

My Wine Man on Greenock Creek

Greenock Creek is one of South Australia's most iconic and reclusive estates, owned by Michael and Annabelle Waugh. The Apricot Block is one of their most celebrated single-vineyard expressions — sourced from old vines in the Marananga sub-region of the Barossa.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with profound concentration. Dark plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, mocha, leather and a touch of clove. Full-bodied with ripe velvety tannins and a long, generous finish. 96 Points — James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Drinking well now and built to evolve through 2040+. Decant 2 hours.

Food Pairing

A 96-point Barossa single-vineyard icon deserves the finest beef. 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, a magnificent match for Apricot Block's dark plum, mocha and velvety old-vine Barossa tannins.
