Rochford
Rochford is today a significant Yarra Valley specialist. Recent years have seen a major expansion of the property's not inconsiderable visitor facilities, which today include a large but excellent restaurant, but of more importance the wines have stepped up as viticulturist John Evans has coaxed great quality from the outstanding upper and Lower Yarra vineyards at his disposal. Kasper Hermann, whose previous credits include a period with Mount Mary, is progressively settling into his role and turning out some thoroughly professional wine. All credit to owner Helmut Konecsny who has persevered through some challenging years to see this company rise to its current level. He has recently placed a major investment into the winery facilities, and I expect the recent rise in quality to continue. There now seems to be a fine balance between its reputation as a concert destination and its ability to produce classic regional wines from single sites. Watch this space!
