Made in the traditional Barossa style, this small-batch red wine reflects the region’s deep history and post-colonial winemaking aesthetic, earning a 96-point critic score and an outstanding reputation among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"1175\"\u003eSince its founding in the 1980s by Robert O’Callaghan, Rockford has embraced a heritage-first approach — from hand-picking fruit at optimum ripeness to fermenting in open vats, crushing with a 19th-century wooden Bagshaw crusher, and pressing in traditional baskets. Maturation takes place over two years in seasoned French and American oak hogsheads and large vats, creating a wine of rare depth and integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1435\"\u003eSuited for long-term cellaring until 2043 or enjoyed now for its layered complexity, this Shiraz offers a true taste of the Barossa’s past and present.
