      Barossa heritage in a bottle, with Cabernet’s dark edge and quiet authority.

      Rockford’s Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 draws from vineyards nestled along the historic Rifle Range Road, a strip once known for target shooting and community life in the early Barossa. Today, it’s a celebrated patch of vineyard country—and this wine captures both its legacy and its soil.

      Made using traditional methods and hand-harvested fruit, the 2017 is pure Barossa Cabernet: powerful, layered, and true to its place. There’s richness without weight, structure without austerity. The wine’s vineyard source, with its mix of valley floor and hillside fruit, brings both depth and lift to the glass.

      A classic for cellaring but drinking beautifully now, this vintage is all black fruit, eucalyptus nuance, and spice. Serve it alongside grilled lamb, aged cheddar, or mushroom and lentil pie.
