Condition Notes


This is a 1998 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon from Rockford's Barrosa Valley range, now 28 years old. The bottle shows appropriate signs of age consistent with a wine of this vintage. The label is original and legible, with the producer's signature visible on the back label. The capsule is intact and shows natural patina from storage. The wine has been stored in standard conditions.




According to the producer's tasting notes on the back label, this wine was made from fully ripened grapes fermented in open slate tanks, aged in American and French oak hogsheads for 2 years, then bottled and released after further ageing. The result is described as a rich, voluptuous wine with soft middle palate and a lovely early finish - the kind of wine the winemaker enjoys drinking.




Rockford is a respected South Australian producer known for traditional winemaking methods and quality Cabernet Sauvignon. This 1998 vintage represents a mature wine suitable for collectors or those seeking a classic Australian Cabernet from the late 1990s.
