Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.

Founded by Robert O'Callaghan in the early 1980s, Rockford Wines is one of Australia's most famous wineries. Located in the prestigious Barossa Valley, the company produces some of the best Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the world. The grapes come mainly from independent growers with vineyards located around the Barossa area with different soil types, mesoclimates, and altitudes. Many plants are over a hundred years old and produce fruit of great concentration and intensity.

The award-winning Basket Press Shiraz is Rockford Wines' signature and flagship wine. The grapes are manually selected and sourced from 60- to 140-year-old vines. The vinification takes place with traditional methods. The wine is then aged for 2 years in French and American oak barrels.

This Shiraz is a wine with a strong character. The nose is fragrant with a complex and structured aromatic profile and notes of dark fruit, black cherry, currant, cassis, and then chocolate, vanilla, and other sweet spices, and finally hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is powerful yet elegant with a delicious concentration of dark fruit, a full body, and firm yet ripe tannins. The finish is persistent and recalls nuances of cedar and herbs. Try it with spicy sausages or rib-eye steak.
