Tasting Note

Rockford’s Sparkling Black Shiraz is made from a base wine originating from a 200-dozen bottle treasure trove of mature shiraz made by Robert O’Callaghan in the late 1970s. Open fermented, basket pressed and matured in seasoned oak, this aged material is the mother lode of Rockford’s modified solera, a three-year fractional blending system. Oxidised base material provides soft textures and flavours. Hallmarks of this celebratory and timeless sparkling red wine are velvety, smooth, aged textures and richness of fruit.

Product Notes

Rockford's Sparkling Black Shiraz wine is a compelling choice from the heart of Australia. It's a lush, full-bodied vintage, effervescing with a vibrant deep purple hue. This striking wine embodies a rich fusion of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate, underpinned by subtle oak nuances. Its velvety tannins balance perfectly with tantalising acidity, yielding a delightfully long-lasting finish. Matured to perfection in seasoned oak barrels, this sparkling shiraz offers a harmonious blend of depth, complexity, and elegance. The harmonious marriage of intense fruit flavours and effervescence makes for a strikingly exquisite drinking experience. A delight for any wine enthusiast.
