Rockford Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

The searing intensity of its sweet red berry flavours and the unexpected tightness and fineness of its structure make a surprising contrast in this presently rather closed and elegant Barossa cabernet. With time in the bottle its deep fruit and earthy, chocolate flavours will mask a light spirity note, while its palate should continue to flesh out with style and substance.

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
