Tasting Note

The 2021 vintage saw a relatively mild summer, accompanied by cool mornings with maximum temperatures below 30°C for the majority of January; these conditions saw vineyards thrive and allowed for optimal ripening, resulting in exceptional grapes picked from a handful of growers, located in both Barossa Valley and Eden Valley. This wine is a great reflection of the vintage, offering generosity of flavour, earthiness, and with the ability to age.

Product Notes

A compelling fusion of Grenache, Mataro, and Shiraz, the Rockford Moppa Springs portrays Australian viticulture at its peak. It boasts a full-bodied composition of layered flavours, weaving blackberries and raspberries with peppery undertones. The nose is hit with vivid aromas of ripe plums and soft spice, offering a tantalising preview of its flavour. The wine's robust structure is finished with silky tannins, making the palate a vibrant tapestry of complexity. Maturation in seasoned American and French oak extends its body, culminating in a near-perfect blend. A truly delightful pour, the Rockford Moppa Springs is a worthy addition to any wine collection.
