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 \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eRockford Wines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1280\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1309\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003e – Deep and savoury\u003cbr data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1333\"\u003e Intense aromas of blackberry, black plum and dark cherry layered with liquorice, anise, dried herbs, ironstone, cedar and subtle earthy spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1477\" data-end=\"1487\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003e – Powerful yet poised\u003cbr data-start=\"1511\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003e Full-bodied and richly textured, showing concentrated dark fruit, savoury spice and mineral depth, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and integrated oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1684\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003e – Long and authoritative\u003cbr data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003e A persistent, structured finish marked by dark fruit, savoury complexity and lingering tannic grip that speaks to long-term ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"2311\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1880\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"1883\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“A magnificent Basket Press, showing depth, authority and control.
