Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2020
Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2019, like Penfolds Grange, is one of Australia’s most collected and most cherished red wines. Fruit is sourced from some of the best old Barossa vineyards with vine age from 60 to 130 years.
"Rich, dark wine, with some violet perfume, but also a mahogany/walnut sort of thing happening, along with dark chocolate, and toasty oak. It’s full-bodied, has good concentration, and while the tannin is perhaps a little drying, it’s early days for it, of course. Coffee and iodine, silty tannin on finish of good intensity and length. Thick and sure-footed, it’s a good release, though not top shelf." Gary Walsh
2020 Vintage-
Deep ruby with a tint of purple and a reserved but complex
and highly appealing bouquet of concentrated red fruits
including raspberry and red cherry, dried herbs, cedar and
the faintest trace of mint among the wild-herb high notes.
Delicious wine concentrated and yet supple and approachable
already with fruit sweetness and very fine, supple tannins that
provide an ideal foundation for the flavour. Outstanding.
96 points – Huon Hooke for The Real Review
--------THE PRODUCER--------
Rockford Wines
"In 1971 I purchased an 1850’s stone settler’s cottage and outbuildings on five acres of land in the village of Krondorf, which sits in the shadow of the Barossa Ranges, in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The courtyard shaped winery which grew from this was built in the same style and from the same materials as the original buildings. The vintage shed is equipped with plant from the pioneer era – I collected these valuable pieces when they were discarded by other Australian wineries as they modernised. This allows Rockford to carry on the traditional Australian winemaking techniques, but more importantly the winery is the same scale, age and pace as our growers’ vineyards."
"To me the winery is not just a building but a large piece of sculpture with Barossa wine running through its veins, hopefully when you walk into the courtyard you’ll instantly feel a sense of all that it represents." Robert O'Callaghan - The Founder/Winemaker.
