Wild Duck Creek
Wild Duck Creek is one of the biggest names in the Heathcote region of Australia. Traditionally, it is also the source of some of it’s biggest wines; with many bottlings of its Springflat Shiraz tipping the scales at 16% ABV! That said, they are masters of balance. For such hefty wines, a deft touch is required and that certainly comes courtesy of second-generation winemaker Liam Anderson.

Wine Advocate (94)The blockbuster 2004 Shiraz Springflat’s inky/purple color is followed by a wine that pushes concentration to the limit. Made from tiny yields of 1.5 to 1.8 tons of fruit per acre, aged in 50% new and 50% 1 and 2 year old oak (half American and half French) barrels, it is a huge, rich, backward Shiraz that still assaults the palate and olfactory senses. Forget this big, structured, intense 2004 for 2-3 years and drink it over the following 15 or more. |

Wine Advocate (95)The 2006 Springflat Shiraz is 100% varietal aged in 100% new French and American oak. The nose offers up an array of cedar, saddle leather, boysenberry, blackberry, and blueberry compote. This is followed by a sweetly fruited, opulent wine with layers of spicy flavors, earth notes, and spice box. Balanced and exceptionally long, this large-scaled effort will evolve for another 5-7 years and be at its best through 2031. |
