Rockford Moppa Springs Grenache Blend 2003
Beginning to show signs of age, this meaty, spicy and floral grenache has a sweet, earthy fragrance whose aromas of raspberries, cloves and cinnamon are backed by suggestions of baked berries and currants. Of moderate length, its fine and supple palate of spicy, currant-like fruit and firm, bony tannin shows signs of breaking up and finishes just fractionally short.

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.
