Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2016

Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2016"Rockford can only be described as an icon, no matter how overused that word may be."

Fruit is sourced from some of the best old Barossa vineyards with vine age from 60 to 130 years. "This is a beautifully ripe, composed and flavorful edition of Basket Press that has all the classic hallmarks of blackberries, earth,
