ROCKFORD Local Growers Semillon - Barossa Valley 2022 Bottle 11.8%abv

Description

"Our growers’ blocks of Semillon is picked at varying degrees of ripeness to ensure that we have multiple options when it comes time to put the blend together. We selectively hand pick some blocks up to three times during a two-to-three-week period. This wine represents a style of winemaking rarely found in Australia anymore. It has gained weight and softness from being bottled under cork which cannot be replicated by a screwcap closure. [...] Ideal conditions in the lead up to the 2022 vintage gave us a later start to the vintage and a more relaxed pace for harvesting. The result was an abundant crop of high-quality fruit." James Fox, Winemaker.
