Built on the same heritage that defines the Basket Press Shiraz, this release carries both depth and freshness, a balance achieved through bottle fermentation and extended time on lees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"800\"\u003eThe base wine is drawn from Barossa Shiraz matured in seasoned oak, then revitalised through secondary fermentation in bottle. After years on lees it was disgorged in 2022 and finished with a touch of Rockford’s own fortified Shiraz. The result is a sparkling wine that captures the Barossa’s richness while offering the lift and elegance of fine bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003eDeep in colour and expressive in flavour, Black Sparkling Shiraz is regarded as a cult release within the Rockford stable. The limited bottlings are sought for their ability to evolve over time, rewarding cellaring while being compelling on release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1055\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003e– Dark fruits and spice\u003cbr data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1104\"\u003eBlackberry, plum and blackcurrant layered with liquorice, cocoa and subtle oak spice, lifted by a hint of violet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003e– Rich yet lifted\u003cbr data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1250\"\u003eConcentrated dark fruit and chocolate notes balanced by fine bubbles and savoury spice, giving both weight and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003e– Long and dry\u003cbr data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003ePersistent dark fruit with touches of liqueur and spice, finishing with balance and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1694\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003eStyle - Sparkling Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1535\" data-end=\"1538\"\u003eVarietal - Shiraz\u003cbr data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1558\"\u003eCountry - Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003eRegion - Barossa Valley, South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"1623\"\u003eDisgorged - 2022\u003cbr data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003eABV - 13.6%\u003cbr data-start=\"1675\" data-end=\"1678\"\u003eClosure - Cork\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42059410636887,"sku":"RBSSHD22","price":270.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/9229727e-75f1-4a07-96a5-738dd0e11cd2.png?v=1761612227","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/rockford-black-sparkling-shiraz-disgorged-2022","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
