Cabernet-Sauvignon, Barossa Valley - 2002 - Rockford Wines
Ref: A210102
This wine shows typical varietal and regional characteristics and has the Rockford philosophy written all over it. A full-bodied, rich, soft wine made form fully ripened grapes. Two years maturation in French and American oak hogsheads has completely integrated the tannins and softened the wine, allowing it to be enjoyed now or cellared to develop further.

In 1971, Robert O’Callaghan bought one and a half hectares of vineyards in Krondorf, in the deep south of the Barossa, and came up with the vineyard name of Rockford, a loose anagram of Krondorf! O’Callaghan believes in recapturing the wine-making processes and traditions of the late 19th Century and, whilst his colleagues fit out their wineries with the latest state-of-the art equipment, he buys their cast-offs and hunts around for such items as antique basket presses. Most of Rockford’s grapes are bought-in from 30-odd ‘grower-friends’ whose low-yielding, ‘dry-land’ bush vines are often anything up to 80 years’ old. O’Callaghan personally supervises the picking at each of the growers and all the grapes are picked at optimum maturity. O’Callaghan has a reputation for not compromising and this can be clearly seen in the sheer quality of his wines.
