Collection: Greenock Creek Wines

For nearly 40 years, Greenock Creek has proudly championed rich, powerful, long-lived red wines that launched Barossa onto the world’s wine stage in the 1990’s.

We remain committed to our craft, and to showcasing the incredible diversity inherent in our vineyards through a range of small-batch wines that are amongst Australia’s most collectable.

Shiraz occupies a special place in the Australian wine story, promoted to centre stage and headline act when it comes to a wine conversation about Barossa.

It is logical that it should feature prominently throughout our portfolio, complemented by selections of Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro and Grenache.

Founders Michael and Annabelle Waugh deliberately accumulated a series of old dryland, low-yielding Barossa vineyards back in the ‘70s, aiming to produce wines of unusual depth of flavour and character. They succeeded handsomely in this aim, achieving icon status and stratospheric prices in the US, making the opinions of Australian scribes irrelevant. The Waughs retired in '18 and the business was sold to a group headed by Sydney-based Jimmy Chen. Peter Atyeo stayed on as vineyard manager and winemaker, with Alex Peel (formerly Ross Estate and Yaldara) stepping in as senior winemaker. Older vineyards were remediated, new sites brought into the fold, and winemaking facilities updated. Exports to Asia and the EU. -JAMES HALLIDAY
