Rockford winery is based in a picturesque collection of stone buildings, just outside the village of Krondorf in the Barossa Range. It was founded in the 1980s by Robert O’Callaghan and has grown into a top-tier producer of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz/Syrah wines, and one of Australia’s best-known traditional wineries.
Those at Rockford take a hands-on, old-school approach to wine-making. They employ basket presses, open concrete fermenting vats, and a Bagshaw grape crusher from the 1880s, to create a beautiful range of critically acclaimed Australian red wines.
The Rod & Spur Cabernet-Shiraz blend is a nod to classic Australian reds from the 1950s and 60s. A bouquet of black and red fruit, cedar and honey rises from the bottle. Its grapes originated from Eden Valley. They are aged separately in barrels of French and American oak, for two years. Rod & Spur is a striking dark ruby in the glass, with dominant flavours of dark cherry and raspberry, accompanied by subtle oakiness and cassis elements. This is a chance to taste a distinctly Australian blend, born when viticulture was still emerging in the country. Pair it with a herby lamb rack, or a cheesy mushroom dish.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
