While Greenock Creek is world-renowned for its monumental Shiraz, its Mataro (Mourvèdre) continues to impress with its authenticity, savoury complexity and unmistakable sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"680\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003eSourced from low-yielding vineyards across the western Barossa, the 2023 vintage benefited from a long, mild growing season. Conditions allowed Mataro — a naturally late-ripening variety — to develop ripe tannins, deep colour and fragrant spice while retaining freshness and aromatic lift. The result is a wine that balances Barossa richness with varietal definition and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1354\"\u003eThe wine opens with dark, brooding aromas of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry skin and mulberry. Classic Mataro notes of earth, cracked pepper, leather, dried herbs and smoked meats weave through the bouquet. Subtle hints of anise, clove and cocoa reveal the influence of well-judged oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1769\"\u003eOn the palate, the 2023 Mataro is medium-full bodied, textural and deeply flavoured. Concentrated dark fruits are framed by firm but refined tannins, giving the wine a muscular yet savoury edge. Earthy, gamey undertones and dried spice add complexity, while a fresh line of acidity provides balance and drive. The finish is long, savoury and satisfying, with persistent notes of spice, black fruit and warm earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003eThis is a true Barossa Mataro — bold, dark and characterful — yet with the polish and detail that define modern Greenock Creek releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"2044\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"1920\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"1955\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"1967\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mataro (Mourvèdre)\u003cbr data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"1989\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1989\" data-end=\"2001\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2011\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2031\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 2033\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2194\"\u003eA superb option for lovers of savoury, structured Barossa reds seeking an alternative to Shiraz, and a wine with excellent food-pairing versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736085885291,"sku":"SK75981287","price":38.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/Greenock_Creek_Mataro_750ml.png?v=1780389864","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2023-greenock-creek-mataro-750m","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
