Rockford Barossa Riesling 2011

A stylish and very complete young riesling whose intense floral aromas of lime juice, green apple and lemon reveal complex, slightly reductive yeast-derived nuances and a hint of mineral. ItÕs lean and tightly focused, with pristine flavours of lime, lemon and apple extending long down a faintly slatey palate, culminating in a long, streamlined finish of tangy citrus flavour and racy, brittle acidity.

Rockford is a dedicated small Barossa maker and a committed supporter of the region’s 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 ‘natural’ wines that faithfully reflect their sites and seasons. The Basket Press and Black Shiraz have rightly become regional classics
