Description

(2025 disgorgement) Deep, brooding colour with a tinge of

purple; the bouquet is all about sweet plum and black cherry

with a trace of tar and a lick of star anise, the palate full and

rounded, beautifully refined and elegant, seamless in its flow

and finishes long with well-judged sweetness and very subtle,

fine grained tannins. No obvious oak here, and the aftertaste

is really clean and more-ish, without excess of sweetness

or tannin.

93 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.
The Rockford Sparkling Black Shiraz spends between 9-12 months on tirage and is based on a mother blend that dates back to 1978 and is one-third bottled each year and topped up with the current vintage. The Rockford VP forms the basis of the dosage liqueur.
