Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2010
Stylish and deeply layered, this refined, elegant Barossa shiraz has a musky, peppery and exotically spicy bouquet of blackberries, mulberries, cassis and dark plums backed by smoky, cedary and vanilla oak with meaty, suede leather undertones. It’s full-flavoured, long and smooth, with brightly lit, confiture-like fruit of piercing intensity and translucent brightness underpinned by silky tannins and tightly knit with dusty oak. It’s likely to become more spicy and savoury with time.

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.
