The Roennfeldt Road vineyards produce wines that are the biggest of the big guns in Greenock Creek's impressive arsenal. The Shiraz vines here were planted back in the early 1900s. After harvesting the grapes are basket pressed and maturation takes place over 36 months in American oak, with further ageing in the bottle before release.

Talking about modern Barossa winemaking without mention Greenock Creek and their big, bold single vineyard Shiraz and Cabernet wines (among other varietals) is like only having half a conversation.
Greenock Creek was established by Michael and Annabelle Waugh on the banks of the Greenock Creek at Seppeltsfield, Barossa, South Australia in 1984. A stonemason by trade, Michael had originally come across the site in 1975 when all it had was an old homestead surrounded by antique vines. His trade came in handy both at Greenock Creek and at Barossa Valley's iconic Rockford Winery, where Michael helped friend and Rockford owner Robert O'Callaghan build the original stone winery buildings that are still in use to this day.
In the early 1990s, the Roennfeldt Road property became part of the estate. This “vine garden” in Marananga is the site for beautiful bush vine Grenache, our Apricot Block Shiraz and the 130-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz blocks (some of the oldest in the world) from which Roennfeldt Road wines are made. All Greenock Creek wines are big and beautiful with unfettered generosity. With the release of the first Creek Block Shiraz in 1986 and up to today the wines showcase the special character of single-site wines. Greenock Creek wines are made to evolve and develop with the passage of time.
Michael and Annabelle retired in 2018. Winemaker Alex Peel and a new wine team have taken the reins but plan to keep Greenock Creek's bold, intense, and powerful style.
Kensington Wine Market is privileged to be one of the exclusive purveyors of Greenock Creek wines for more than 15 years.

A soft, spicy blend that captures the rustic heartbeat of the Barossa. Moppa Springs is a place where green vines grow on one side of the fence and ripened wheat on the other. This country can be tough on grapes and vines but in this case, the Grenache, Shiraz, and Mataro give their best.

One of our favourite wines and wineries. Moss Wood is an iconic winery that helped put Margaret river on the map. This is their flagship wine and an absolutely stellar Cabernet with layers of complexity and character. The 2017 Vintage of Moss Wood's Cabernet is made up of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. All told, this vintage spent 31 months maturing in French oak barrels (25% new) before being bottled.

Best's Wines was established in 1866 by the pioneering Henry Best then sold to his neighbour Frederick Thomson in 1920. It's run by the Thomson family in the best tradition! Brooding spice and clove characters on the nose with red fruits nestled amongst subtle complexities and a touch of restrained oak. Great depth of flavor. Deep, rich with a long finish showing fine tannins.

For well over a century, Shiraz has played the main role in producing wines of outstanding quality, depth and longevity at Kay Brothers. The Basket Press Shiraz continues this tradition. The vineyards sourced for this wine have a predominantly eastern exposure. The soil varies from sandy loam at the top of the hill to heavier loam and clay as it transcends down the hill toward the creek. The dry climate forces the vine roots, ranging from 9 - 18 years, to delve into the complex underlying geology consisting of quartz and ironstone gravels, weathered and calcareous sandstone, siltstone and limestone.
