Unlike many of the newcomers, the Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz uses the time honoured method of ageing quality Shiraz in wood for many years prior to blending and bottle fermentation. The result is softness, depth and complex flavours that are impossible to duplicate in young wines. Sparkling Shiraz made like this is a key-stone of Australia’s wine heritage; Black Shiraz ensures that this very Australian wine, nurtured by generations of wine makers is never lost. I’ll never forget a Sparkling Shiraz I found in my father’s cellar at Seppelt’s Barooga vineyard when I was a kid – I can taste it now. Many years later, when I worked at Seppelt’s Rutherglen, I met Colin Preece, the master responsible for the great old wines. Ever since, I’ve wanted to make a wine of my own that reflected his attitude and technique. This is it: Black Shiraz matured in seasoned oak, revitalised by bottle fermentation, left on lees before disgorgement and liqueuring, and then put straight back into the cellar. You’d be doing us both a favour if you left it there a bit longer so it can really show its best. But watch your kids. – Robert O’Callaghan, Winemaker The quality and style of this remarkable wine are jealously guarded by Rockford. It really is sheer pleasure to drink, complex yet harmonious, long and balanced. The problem is if you are not on the mailing list you are not going to be able to buy it. 97 points – James Halliday The Finer Details Style – Sparkling Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – Barossa Valley Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 13.5%
