From Greenock Creek’s famed Apricot Block in Barossa Valley, the 2019 Apricot Block Shiraz is a single-vineyard, powerfully concentrated Shiraz. Dense black fruit, integrated spice and oak, and a sculpted tannin frame give it structure and age-worthiness for cellaring or robust pairings.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: blackberry, black plum, and dark cherry with cocoa, licorice, and baking spices; a touch of smoke.
- Palate: full-bodied and densely fruited (blackberry, plum, blueberry) with chocolate and espresso notes; integrated oak and vanilla; firm, fine-grained tannins; balanced acidity.
- Finish: long and spicy, with cocoa, coffee, and a hint of char.
