Greenock Creek Description
The wine shows deep red and purple colors in the glass and fragrant notes of dark berries and warm spices on the nose. The palate offers up an abundance of rich flavor, framed by silky tannins and a long, lingering finish.
A 3 ton basket press is used for all the pressing – it has traditional wooden slates that are wax coated yearly. Pressing time is fairly brief – in order to refrain from drawing bitter tasting juice. Freerun juice, along with pressings are then gravity feed into 5000L underground tank to be combined with the drained off juice. This is then transferred to stainless steel tanks for 2 days, to settle the heavy lees. Following this, the wine was matured in 20% new French oak and the balance seasoned American oak for 20 months. The wine was then bottled, unfiltered and unfined.
