Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, off-dry
Rockford's benchmark sparkling Shiraz: base wine matured in old oak for years before tirage and further lees ageing, giving a rich, concentrated mouthful of blackberry and plum fruit shot through with black pepper and a savoury, chocolatey oak depth. A traditional-method red with real staying power — this is a wine built to be laid down, not just poured at Christmas.
Serving: Serve at 8–10 °C.
