      Power, depth and old-vine intensity define this iconic Barossa Valley Shiraz in magnum format. The Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2007 1.5L is sourced from some of the Barossa’s oldest dry-grown vineyards, with many vines exceeding 60 years of age and planted on ironstone-rich red-brown loams. Crafted by Rockford Wines using traditional open fermentation and basket pressing, the wine reflects a deliberately hands-off, heritage-driven approach to Shiraz. The 2007 vintage is widely regarded as one of the Barossa’s great years, delivering fruit of exceptional concentration, balance and natural structure. In the glass, the wine is dense and layered, yet remarkably composed, showing the hallmark savoury restraint that distinguishes Rockford’s style. The magnum format further enhances its ageing trajectory, allowing the wine to evolve slowly and gracefully over time. Rich dark fruit intensity is framed by fine-grained tannins and well-judged oak, creating a sense of power without excess. Now deeply complex yet still vibrant, this release demonstrates how traditional Barossa Shiraz can marry generosity with longevity. It is a benchmark expression that rewards extended cellaring and commands attention at the table.
