Deep, dark, rich and spicy with multi layered textural refinement, a full body, dry flavours and full spectrum of dark ripe plums held together in a beautifully structured sparkling wine. This special wine represents the great heights of bottle fermented Shiraz – it is the only Australian sparking wine, red or white, that features in the Langton’s Classification VII of Australian Wine.
Rockford Wines’ legacy
Rockford Wines is an icon itself and a relatively new one, established in 1971 by Robert O’Callaghan, who has forged a reputation for preserving winemaking tradition and saving many of the world’s oldest grape vines from being pulled up in the Australian Government’s vine pull schemes of the 1970s and 1980s.
The Rockford vintage shed houses equipment from 50 to 100 years ago, which was discarded by other wineries as modernisation took over.
