Rockford Rod & Spur Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2007

$60.00

I’ve been lucky enough to drink a lot of mature Rod & Spur and have never been let down. The addition of Cabernet completely changes the flavour compared to the Basket Press but what it adds is the ability to drink sooner.

Description

I’ve been lucky enough to drink a lot of mature Rod & Spur and have never been let down. The addition of Cabernet completely changes the flavour compared to the Basket Press but what it adds is the ability to drink sooner.

One of Australia’s greatest Estates. Crafting wines from their Barossa base that reflect the region and its philosophy. Best known for their old school and long lived ‘Basket Press Shiraz’ and their majestic ‘Black’ Sparkling Shiraz. But to focus exclusively on those would diminish the quality of the whole range of authentically and proudly Barossan wines.

Barossa Valley 

One of the major wine regions or Australia. Known for making great Shiraz by any standard as well as Grenache, Mataro, Semillon and much more. There has been a lot of work finding the sub-regions that excel for each style and variety planted.

Cabernet Sauvignon

The noble variety of Bordeaux’s left bank. Firm tannins, a streak of acidity and punctuated by flavours of cassis, violets, spice and leather. The best examples can age for the long term. Often blending with Merlot, Cabernet Franc or Shiraz will fix the hole Cabernet has in its middle palate.

Shiraz/Syrah 

A bit of a chameleon, Shiraz can change how it looks depending on terroir and/or wine maker influence. The Syrah based wines of Northern Rhone are dry and austere while the Shiraz of Barossa is rich and fleshy. A variety that lends itself to long aging but can be drunk at any time of its evolution.
