ROCKFORD Basket Press Shiraz - Barossa Valley 2019 Bottle

Description

Basket Press Shiraz from the renowned winery captures the essence of Australian winemaking traditions, showcasing the outstanding vineyards that lie at its core. This exceptional wine is crafted using equipment from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, emphasising a meticulous approach to production.

The 2019 Rockford Basket Press Shiraz displays a deep, inky ruby hue. On the nose, it's a powerful aromatic symphony of ripe black plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, interwoven with alluring notes of cracked black pepper, liquorice, and a hint of warm baking spices from well-integrated oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, delivering concentrated layers of dark fruit compote, bitter chocolate, and an earthy savouriness. Firm, yet polished tannins provide excellent structure, balanced by a vibrant acidity that carries through to a remarkably long and persistent finish, echoing dark fruits and spice. A classic, age-worthy Barossa expression.
