Greenock Creek

Located in Seppeltsfield in South Australia's Barossa Valley, Grennock Creek is a boutique winery owned by Michael & Annabelle Waugh. In 1975, while working in the area as a stonemason, Michael found an uninhabited cottage next to Grennock Creek and purchased the site that same year with the intention to build a winery. After planting vineyard plantings and construction on the winemaking facility, the cellar door opened in 1988 with just two wines available.

Grennock Creek now features seven wines. Focusing on small lot, estate-grown fruit, theses single vineyard Cabernet, Shiraz and Grenache are dry-grown with some vines at over 80 years of age. The grapes are generally fermented in large, shallow open fermenters, pumped over and pressed through a basket press. Both American and French oak is used with a mixture of new and old barrels. Depending on the vineyard and variety, the wines are aged for 12-27 months on average and are bottled without fining or filtration.
