No formal notes but remains one of the value Dry Reds in Australia I believe - from Seppelts vast resources (Treasury Wine Estates). Red cherry and Red berries on nose and palate with earthy spicy nuances. Very easy to drink and would be accepted by all. Only $17.99 per bottle and I have 1 left. — a month ago

In its prime. Not the best vintage but still gorgeous mature Grampians Shiraz — 4 months ago

Last bottle. Slightly disappointed. Cork was not great and wine was not in as good a shape as others opened. But still a lovely drink, rich still showing nice fruit and back palate tannin structure with chocolate and spice. — 10 months ago

When the cork pops an a 30 year old sparkling from NSW it brings joy beyond comprehension.

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. — 2 months ago

Day after day, time after time, taste after taste.
I’m blown away by how much Shiraz can shine in different parts of Australia.
With Seppelt’s rich history and knowledge mixed with TWE pockets and vineyards it makes for great wine 👍🏼 — 3 years ago
