Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 1995
Sweetly fragrant, but slightly hollow, this is a more delicate Basket Press, whose perfume of raspberries and plums precedes a generous, if slightly flat palate, with sweet fruit and a supple mouthfeel. It’s rich enough, but lacks the tannin structure and complexity of the better years.

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
