    • Description

      Rocky O’Callahan is one of the Australian wine industry’s true originals, and since 1984 he has done things his way at Rockford. To this day all fruit is processed using a single crusher and basket press from the 1890’s. This process can take up to six weeks to crush the 220 tonnes of grapes harvested annually, at many modern wineries this might be achieved in a single day! This steadfast commitment to quality and tradition results in wines of character unmatched anywhere in Australia.

    Rockford

    Rockford Wines was established in 1984 and is located in Tanunda, South Australia. Robert O'Callaghan and Ben Radford are the winemakers. Robert O’Callaghan acknowledged at an early stage the future of regional definition, the importance of heritage and the preservation of both physical and viticultural resources, and is one of the most important characters in today’s Australian winemaking.

    The fruit, from 60-140 year-old vines, is sourced from local growers in the Barossa including around Kalimna, Ebenezer, Moppa Springs, the Eden Valley and Central, which gives tremendous colour, power and richness to the fruit.

    Two retailers in Sydney, and one each in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth sell Rockford wines, along with a few restauraunts. The Rockford Basket Press Shiraz is very scarce though and is likely to be unavailable. Since its release in 1984, The Basket Press Shiraz has been produced every vintage, and represents what Rockford is all about more than any other wine. Rockford was also ranked No.1 on TripAdvisor among 22 attractions in Tanunda.
