Rockford Local Growers Semillon 2009

A smooth and luscious semillon beginning to show some delightful bottle-aged development. ItÕs toasty and buttery, with deep scents of melon, dried flowers and wheatmeal with a hint of straw, while its round and generous palate is viscous and almost oily, revealing a pleasing match of smooth, creamy fruit and faintly smoky oak, finishing with freshness and length.

Winery

Rockford
Rockford is a dedicated small Barossa maker and a committed supporter of the regionŐs small vineyards and their owners. Its wines are made with a refreshing disregard for trends and fashion and are bottled without artefact or manipulation. That is not to suggest that they are made and assembled without great care, experience and dedication, but these are essentially ÔnaturalŐ wines that faithfully reflect their sites and seasons. The new releases contain an elegant and surprisingly compete Basket Press Shiraz from 2011, plus from 2012 the finest collection of 'lesser' reds for several years. Furthermore, the latest disgorging of Black Shiraz is a classic.
