The Rockford Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a tribute to the rich history and heritage of the Barossa Valley, particularly the area around Rifle Range Road, which runs parallel to Krondorf Road. This road, historically known for its connection to small-bore target shooting, represents the heart of Barossa’s early social life. Although the old rifle range is long gone, the vineyards and farmlands that once supported this community continue to thrive today.
Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced primarily from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, this wine reflects the unique terroir of the valley floor and the surrounding hills. The 2021 vintage is a perfect representation of Rockford’s dedication to traditional winemaking methods, with a focus on elegance, structure, and complexity. Rich in dark fruit flavours, complemented by fine tannins and balanced acidity, the Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon is an expressive and well-rounded wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment.
