Sparkling Shiraz is an Australian specialty and this Rockford Black is one of the best examples and hard to obtain. This is sold out every year by loyal Rockford members on the mailing list and only available through secondary sources at twice the cellar door price as I did. Lovely cherry foam after pouring. The product of old vine Shiraz fruit with rich black plum and chocolate flavours showing through the bubbles. Undoubtedly one of Australia’s best Sparkling Shiraz - up there with Seppelt Great Western. Derived from the renowned Rockford Basket Press Shiraz. Wonderful stuff and one of the tasting highlights of the last few weeks, up there with the ‘89 Mouton.
