Greenock Creek Alice’s Shiraz 2022 is a powerful, old-vine Barossa Shiraz from one of the region’s most revered cult producers — dense, concentrated and built for the long haul.
Greenock Creek is known for producing wines of exceptional depth and intensity, and Alice’s is no exception — a serious, collector-grade Shiraz that rewards patience.
My Wine Man
This is for someone who wants a genuinely serious Barossa Shiraz with real provenance and ageing potential.
Greenock Creek is a small, family-run operation that has built a cult following for good reason — these wines are made with minimal intervention and maximum respect for the fruit.
In my view, this is one of the most authentic expressions of old-vine Barossa Shiraz available — powerful, honest and built to last.
What makes this wine stand out
This is all about concentration and old-vine intensity.
Blackberry, dark plum and black cherry form a dense, layered fruit core, supported by dark chocolate, licorice, earth and savoury spice.
The defining feature is the structure — firm, ripe tannins and natural acidity give the wine grip, depth and exceptional length.
This is Barossa Shiraz at its most authentic.
