ROCKFORD RIFLE RANGE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2021

Most people would be unaware that Cabernet Sauvignon has been planted in the Barossa since at least 1888. Barossa Cabernets are rich, full-flavoured wines and are a perfect fit into the Rockford stable. The fruit for this wine comes predominantly from vineyards along Rifle Range Road. The ‘Biscay’ soil of these vineyards is heavy clay, lending the wine its full flavour and earthy tones. The perfect wine to hide in your cellar, for as long as you are able.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Good depth of red with a trace of purple remaining.
• Bouquet: Meaty/smoky and earthy/cedary.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and lean with bright acidity and dusty, velvet tannins in good balance with the wine.
  • A hint of licorice.
  • Good balance of fleshy extract, fruit, and tannin.

This wine is drinking well now and has several years ahead of it.
