Robert O’Callaghan’s evocative Rockford Basket Press Shiraz is a tribute to the Barossa’s 19th and early 20th-century heritage. Made from grapes sourced from 60 to 140-year-old dry-grown vineyards (most from independent growers) across a range of Barossa soils, altitudes and micro-climates, the wine represents a rare and important post-colonial Australian aesthetic.

This soft and medium bodied style, with an earthy quality showing through bottle age, echoes the landscape of the Barossa and references the great mid 20th-century wines of legendary winemaker Colin Preece. Labour-intensive winemaking practices, a culture of craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail culminate in one of Australia’s greatest and most-loved wines

Reviews

Medium-deep red with a trace of purple in the rim; the bouquet suggests meaty, spicy, earthy/terracotta and forest underbrush nuances. Cranberry on the tongue. Full bodied and fleshy with good extract and plenty of firm tannin bringing on the finish and then a lingering aftertaste. A more savoury style of Barossa shiraz with earthy drying tannins and subtle richness.
