Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2011

A fine effort from this Barossa vintage Ð this elegant and complete shiraz has a faintly peppery, spicy bouquet whose meaty aromas of delicate red fruits are backed by earthy nuances and lifted by sweet vanilla oak. ItÕs full to medium-bodied, smooth and reserved, with almost a fragile presence of gentle black and red berry flavours and restrained oak underpinned by pliant, dusty tannins. It finishes with pleasing length and balance.

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.
