About Greenock Creek Wines
Greenock Creek Wines grows its fruit on old vineyards in the western Barossa ranges and is known for powerful single-site Shiraz. Its cellar door on Seppeltsfield Road in Marananga is a small, intimate wine room that opens every day from 11am. Two guided tastings run here. The Estate Tasting introduces current releases from the estate vineyards, while the Premium Shiraz Tasting goes deeper into small-batch, single-vineyard wines, including Roennfeldt Road Shiraz from vines planted in 1912. The Basket Press & Blend Experience is the hands-on option. Each guest presses a kilo of fermented Grenache and tastes how different pressings change texture and structure, then chooses a blend that is bottled to take home before finishing with a guided estate tasting. Because the room is small, tastings should be booked ahead, and groups larger than eight are hosted only by prior arrangement. The blending session takes one to four guests and needs at least 48 hours' notice, as the Grenache is prepared for each booking. Allow about an hour for a tasting and two hours for the blending session.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can book a tasting together?
Bookings are recommended because the wine room is small. Groups of up to eight can reserve a tasting, and larger groups are hosted only by prior arrangement with the cellar door team.
What happens in the Basket Press & Blend Experience?
Each guest presses 1kg of fermented Grenache in a basket press, compares how the pressings affect tannin and texture, and picks a blend. You take home a personalised 750ml bottle, and the session ends with an estate tasting.
How far ahead do we need to book the blending session?
At least 48 hours ahead, since the team readies a batch of fermented Grenache for every booking. The session takes between one and four guests and lasts about two hours.
What is the difference between the two tastings?
The Estate Tasting is a relaxed introduction to current releases from the estate vineyards. The Premium Shiraz Tasting focuses on flagship single-vineyard Shiraz, such as the Roennfeldt Road wine from 1912 plantings.
What time do tastings run?
The cellar door opens every day from 11am and the last tastings begin by 4:15pm. It closes on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and public holiday hours can differ.
