Powerful Old-Vine Barossa Shiraz from One of Australia’s True Cult Producers

The 2022 Greenock Creek Alice’s Shiraz is a dense, intensely concentrated Barossa Shiraz from one of the region’s most respected small producers. Built from old vines and made in a minimal-intervention style, it is powerful, structured, and designed for long-term cellaring.

My Wine Man on Greenock Creek

Greenock Creek is a small, family-run Barossa Valley estate that has built a cult following over decades for producing deeply concentrated, age-worthy Shiraz. The focus has always been on low yields, old vines, and minimal intervention winemaking to preserve purity and intensity of fruit. Alice’s Shiraz sits firmly in the estate’s classic style — bold, structured, and built for longevity.

Tasting Notes

Blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry form a dense and layered fruit core, supported by dark chocolate, liquorice, earth, and savoury spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and tightly structured. Firm, ripe tannins provide grip and definition, while balanced acidity gives freshness and length.

Food Pairing

A full-bodied, old-vine Barossa Shiraz like this 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 the wine’s blackberry, dark plum, liquorice, earth and firm cult-Barossa tannins.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HK$249, the Greenock Creek Alice’s Shiraz delivers authentic old-vine Barossa concentration from one of Australia’s most respected cult producers. It offers serious structure, minimal-intervention winemaking, and exceptional cellaring potential.
