Rockford Wines
A celebrated traditional winery using century-old equipment, famed for its Basket Press Shiraz and Black Shiraz.
Few Barossa names carry the cult status of Rockford. Founded by Robert O'Callaghan, the winery makes its reds the old way - open fermenters, a restored basket press, and fruit from low-yielding old vines.
The flagship Basket Press Shiraz is famously hard to get; allocation often sells out, so the cellar door is one of the surest places to taste it.
It is quietly one of the most atmospheric stops in the valley, and a pilgrimage for serious Shiraz drinkers.
