Description


This is a 1994 Rockford Basket Press Shiraz from the renowned Barossa Valley region of South Australia. The bottle features the distinctive Rockford label with decorative artwork and displays the characteristic deep garnet colour typical of mature Australian Shiraz. The wine has been stored and shows appropriate bottle age characteristics.




According to the producer's tasting notes visible on the label, this Black Shiraz is described as "the sort of stuff I was weaned on. Uniquely Australian, it's loaded with rich ripe fruit flavour and very fine tannin – it's a big old fashioned red that will put a smile on the faces of all those who drink it – but the biggest smiles will belong to those who are patient enough to put it away in it cellar for 10 years."




The wine is signed by Robert O'Callaghan, Winemaker/Proprietor, adding provenance and authenticity to this vintage release. The 1994 vintage represents a significant year in Barossa Valley winemaking history.




Condition Notes
