Winemaker Notes
This was a classic vintage year over much of South Australia, with ideally long, slow ripening. So Ive been awaiting the 02 Roennfeldts with more excitement than usual. This wine will take many, many years to calm down. After five years, its tightAmerican oak is still prominent, yet everything seems to be here in equal proportion. Six days after opening it was just beginning to smooth out, fluffy and intense and as long as the Nullarbor. One glass managed to survive in the bottom of the opened, recorked bottle for another fortnight and its still quite simply a gorgeous,right royal drink.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The two Roennfeldt Road cuvees, from one of Barossa’s most esteemed addresses, appear to be the finest since the legendary 1998s The 2002 Roennfeldt Road Shiraz was aged in new French oak. Aromas of pain grille, truffle, mineral, violets, blackberry, and blueberry compote are ethereal and lead to a voluptuous, densely layered, succulent, complex Shiraz with 10-15 years of aging potential, This extraordinary effort should drink well through 2040.

Greenock Creek Wines is situated at Seppeltsfield in the rolling hills between the hamlets of Greenock and Marananga, on the western edge of the Barossa Valley. The winery's first release was in 1988, when it sold a 1986 Shiraz and a 1988 Chardonnay from its tiny cellar door situated beneath the Waugh's 150 year old stone cottage. Since then the winery has planted, grafted or acquired more vines, and now specialises in premium red wine production. Only grapes grown on the property are used, making it truly an estate winery. The range of wines includes five Shiraz, two Cabernet Sauvignons and a Grenache, all processed at the winery on the Waugh’s Roennfeldt Road property. The wines are released each year in early September and are sold through cellar door, mail order, a selected number of retail outlets in Australia and a small quantity via export. If there is a "Cult" Australian winery, this is it!
