This is classic Rifle Range. Dense dark fruits, milky chocolate, remnants of once rosy perfume is exchanged for jammy sundried fruits and a smattering of dried herbs and sweet red roasted capsicums. Charming red, with black olive tapenade, and savoury earthy notes. Rich, soft, and ready for the taking.
The love of bore target shooting, was one of the many European traditions that the first settles brought to the Barossa. Of course the wine, food, and fun that ensued was an important part of early Barossan social life. Rifle Range Road which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. While the old rifle range is long gone, the farming land and vineyards that have always been part of the landscape are still there. Because most of Rockford's Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it was the most appropriate name for this wine which has been part of Rockford since the very beginning.
Made using traditional winemaking techniques. By aging the wine in large, seasoned oak vats (4500 litres) and hogsheads (300 litres) for two years this allowed the wine to marry flavours, colour, while retaining good tannin structure. A big Aussie claret built for the distance.
