Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2006
A more cooked and meaty Basket Press that lacks its usual fruit sweetness and length. Its dark, meaty and chocolate-like bouquet of currants, plums and berries is lifted by sweet, perfumed oak but retains a rather baked aspect. Its rich, inky palate of meaty dark fruit, mint and menthol is underpinned by chunky, drying tannins and finishes slightly short.

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
