Since its inception in 1971, Rocky O'Callaghan of Rockford Wines has striven to craft wines that speak of their origins in the Barossa Valley and traditional winemaking methods. Generous and full of character, with longevity in mind, Rocky's wines have become what can only be described as iconic. None more so than the Rockford Basket Press. Sold predominantly through the winery's cellar door and mailing list, the scarcity and consistent quality has many searching high and low for these wines each and every vintage.

2018 Basket Press Shiraz
Usually $259
Special Offer $229
"Opaque violet. Intense, perfumed kirsch, blackberry, violet, incense and baking spice scents, along with savory hints of olive paste and botanical herbs. Shows impressive depth as well as energy to the appealingly sweet red and dark fruit preserve, fig paste and licorice flavors. Hefty but shows unlikely finesse as well, finishing impressively long and smoky, with the floral and spice notes repeating. Raised in used French and American oak hogsheads."

2019 Basket Press Shiraz
Usually $239
Special Offer $219
"This wine is made from specially selected small parcels of established Barossa Shiraz from some of the Barossa’s finest grape growing families. The vineyards are situated in different sub-regions throughout the Barossa, which adds to the complexity and depth of the final blend. The wine is hand-made using equipment from the turn of the last century, then matured in seasoned American and French oak casks for two years. All this contributes to our objective to make the very highest quality traditional, soft, deeply-coloured, earthy Australian red wine which will bottle age."
