Tasting Note

Rockford’s Sparkling Black Shiraz is made from a base wine originating from a 200-dozen bottle treasure trove of mature shiraz made by Robert O’Callaghan in the late 1970s. Open fermented, basket pressed and matured in seasoned oak, this aged material is the mother lode of Rockford’s modified solera, a three-year fractional blending system. Oxidised base material provides soft textures and flavours. Hallmarks of this celebratory and timeless sparkling red wine are velvety, smooth, aged textures and richness of fruit.

Product Notes

Rockford's Sparkling Black Shiraz wine is indeed an exquisite revelation. It bursts with a luscious concoction of rich, dark fruit flavours, subtly melded with savoury and spicy undertones. The gentle effervescence does not overpower but rather enhances the wine's natural complexity. Hailing from Australia's prestigious Barossa Valley, this sparkling Shiraz is exceptionally crafted with finesse and a fine balance. Its aged character boasts a luxurious depth whilst the robust yet refined tannins give it a beautiful structure. Adding an unmistakable majesty, the persistent finish offers a satisfying climax. From the first sip to the last, it's pure indulgence. It's a testament to Rockford's winemaking prowess.
