About the Wine

Alices Shiraz (plural, not possessive) is named for the mother and favourite aunt of Greenock Creek vignerons Annabelle & Michael Waugh.

From Greenock Creek’s largest single vineyard—planted in 1997 and renowned for its tiny yields—this is concentrated Barossa Shiraz flavour at its most expressive. The fruit is matured for an average of 27 months in a mix of old and new American oak hogsheads, with no filtration or fining before bottling.

The soils of the Alices vineyard impart a deep mineral earthiness to this intense red. Bright raspberry and black cherry fruit mingle with anise and mocha, creating a wine of energy and layered structure. Its refreshing acidity makes it ideal with food, though it easily shines on its own.

Powerful, elegant, fresh, complex and long—this single-vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz is unmatched in value.
