The 2010 Greenock Creek Roennfeldt Road Shiraz is an extraordinary and commanding expression from one of the Barossa Valley’s most mythical single vineyards. Roennfeldt Road has long been the flagship of Greenock Creek — a minute, low-yielding site in the western Barossa producing some of the most concentrated and powerfully structured Shiraz in Australia. Tiny berries, ancient soils, and severe vine stress combine to create a wine of immense density, richness, and longevity.
The 2010 vintage is regarded as one of the great modern Barossa years. Ideal conditions produced perfectly ripened fruit with deep colour, thick skins, and classically robust tannin structure. The wine opens with intense aromas of blackberry compote, black plum, blueberry reduction, dark chocolate, licorice, espresso and smoked vanilla. Hints of clove, cedar, roasted meat, graphite and molasses further amplify the wine’s complexity and sheer scale.
On the palate, the 2010 Roennfeldt Road Shiraz is monumental — full-bodied, deeply layered and texturally dense. Massive waves of black and blue fruits dominate, framed by muscular yet velvety tannins and generous, seamlessly integrated oak. Notes of mocha, charred spices, cocoa powder, tar and sweet baking spice complement the fruit richness, building toward a finish that is exceptionally long, warm and authoritative.
Now with over a decade in bottle, the wine retains its immense concentration while beginning to reveal secondary nuances of leather, dried herbs, earth and cured meat. Despite its power, the structure remains balanced, with the volume and fruit weight typical of Roennfeldt Road harmonising beautifully with time.
