Rockford Basket Pressed Shiraz 2005
	Exceptional Langtons Classification. One of the Barossa's great arcane treasures, most of Rockford's limited production is cornered by its cult of local enthusiasts. "Generous, old fashioned, very much in the style of the mighty Grange, augustly perfumed with rich concentrations of demonstrative fruit over settled, genial tannins!' -Winewrite.com.au, "Made in the classic mould with strong, ripe, blackberry and fine chocolate fruit characters, underscored by excellent palate richness, well seasoned American and French oak and ripe tannins!" -Langtons.com.au Barossa
	Each $149.00 Dozen $1788.00	The Rockford wineworks and apparatus on Krondorf Road at Tanunda date back to the 1850s. The artisanal proprietors employ traditional techniques to assemble one of the nation's most singularly commanding wines. Parcels of the best dry grown old vine Shiraz, some of which were planted in the nineteenth century, from a select cabal of growers, operating vineyards in the Barossa, Kalimna and Ebenezer, Moppa Springs and the Eden Valley, are treated to an ancient basket press followed by vinfication in old fashioned open fermentation vessels. The batches are matured in a selection of mostly prior use French and American oak barrels, before a rigorous selection to determine the final assemblage. Alcohol 14.5%
	Deeply coloured wine. A dense bouquet of aromatic dark fruits and berries with a twist of spice before the most engaging palate of reductions, power and richness over background oak and complex spice. Loaded with flavour and very fine tannin, a big old fashioned red that will put a smile on the faces of all who drink it. "A developing, leathery bouquet of polished furniture, red plums, redcurrants, cloves and cinnamon reveals undertones of game meats, mint and menthol. It’s modestly full to medium in weight, with a smooth, polished and elegant palate whose confiture-like berry/ plum fruit finishes with a hint of raisin. Supported by fine, pliant tannins, it presents a pleasing balance between fruit and oak!" -Jeremyoliver.com

Exceptional Langtons Classification. "Medium bodied; classic exercise in restraint; an array of black fruits on a long palate; fine, savoury tannins; minimal oak!" -Wine Companion.com.au, "A crisp, elegant, refreshing style of Shiraz made from 60- to 140-year-old vines, the 2002 vintage, according to winemaker Chris Ringland, produced wines of elegance and crisp acidity because of the long growing season. This fresh, lively yet seriously concentrated effort needs another 2-3 years of bottle age, and should drink well for two decades!" -eRobertparker.com
