Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1985
A lighter, finer wine of some sweetness and intensity, a bouquet of perfumed raspberries and a supple, smooth cassis-like palate of charm and freshness. From a cooler year and fractionally short for higher marks.

Winery
Rockford
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
