Alices Block sits adjacent to the original Roennfeldt Road plantings and has long been recognised as one of Greenock Creek’s most expressive vineyard sites — delivering plush, dark fruit intensity with the estate’s signature depth and muscular structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage in the Barossa Valley produced wines of purity, freshness and excellent natural balance. A mild, steady growing season with cooler nights allowed Shiraz to ripen slowly, enhancing aromatics and preserving acidity while maintaining the dark-fruited richness expected of the western Barossa. The resulting Alices Block release carries both generosity and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1402\"\u003eThe wine opens with lifted, seductive aromas of blackberry compote, dark plum, blueberry, licorice and cocoa. Notes of violet, anise, cracked pepper and subtle smoked spice add complexity. The integration of fine-quality oak contributes hints of vanilla, mocha and warm cedar without overwhelming the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1404\" data-end=\"1852\"\u003eOn the palate, the 2022 Alices Block Shiraz is plush, full-bodied and beautifully textured. Concentrated dark fruits fill the mid-palate, supported by velvety yet defined tannins that offer structure without heaviness. A lively thread of acidity provides lift, balancing the richness and ensuring long, harmonious flow. Layers of chocolate, spice, earth and savoury undertones emerge as the wine opens, leading to a long, smooth and warming finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1854\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003eThis vintage captures the essence of Alices Block — expressive, generous and deeply fruited — while showcasing the elegant refinement and polish that Greenock Creek continues to bring to its modern releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2184\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2074\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2109\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2121\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2131\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~15%\u003cbr data-start=\"2148\" data-end=\"2151\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2151\" data-end=\"2171\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 2035\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2186\" data-end=\"2333\"\u003eA richly detailed, full-flavoured Barossa Shiraz delivering both power and poise — ideal for collectors and lovers of classic Greenock Creek depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736085819755,"sku":"SK55294898","price":49.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/Greenock_Creek_Alices_Shiraz_750ml_01c041c0-253c-4074-858c-e3c8eb390d2e.png?v=1780389862","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2022-greenock-creek-vineyards-cellars-alices-block-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
