The 2003 Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz is a monumental and highly collectable expression from one of the Barossa Valley’s most legendary single vineyards. Roennfeldt Road is famed for producing some of Australia’s most concentrated, powerful and age-worthy Shiraz — crafted from tiny yields of thick-skinned berries grown on ancient, low-nutrient soils. The 2003 vintage is a classic example of the vineyard’s unmistakable muscle and depth, presented here in a premium gift box.
The 2003 season in the Barossa Valley was warm and extremely dry, resulting in very low yields and exceptional fruit concentration. These conditions amplified Roennfeldt Road’s natural intensity, giving rise to a wine of extraordinary richness, tannin power and longevity.
The nose is explosive and brooding, with dense aromas of blackberry liqueur, black plum, mulberry and blueberry compote. Layers of licorice, dark chocolate, espresso, tar and warm spice add immense complexity. Subtle savoury nuances of smoked meat, roasted herbs and graphite contribute depth and vineyard-driven character.
On the palate, the 2003 Roennfeldt Road Shiraz is full-bodied, thickly textured and commanding. Saturated waves of dark fruit coat the palate, framed by massive yet velvety tannins that provide structure and gravitas. The wine’s sheer concentration is balanced by a thread of underlying freshness, allowing the richness to remain vibrant rather than heavy. Flavours of mocha, cocoa, anise, roasted coffee and charred spice build through the mid-palate, leading to an extraordinarily long and resonant finish.
This is a quintessential Roennfeldt Road release — uncompromising, opulent and built for the long haul. Now entering a stunning drinking window but with decades still ahead, the 2003 vintage remains a prized collectible for lovers of powerful Barossa Shiraz.
