      One of the many European traditions that the first settles brought to the Barossa was their love of small bore target shooting. The wine, food, and fun that went with those days made them an important part of early Barossan social life. 

      Rifle Range Road which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, is in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. The old rifle range is long gone, but the farming land and vineyards that have always been part of the landscape are still there. Because most of Rockford's Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it seemed the most appropriate name for this wine which has been part of Rockford since the very beginning.

      Rockford Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

      Juicy dark cherry and raspberry, cedar and vanilla, dusty spicy perfume too. It’s fresh, almost medium-bodied, with a lightness of fruit – pretty, but not deep – smooth powdery tannin, a smattering of dried herb on a finish of fair length. It’s a charmer. Should age pretty well too. And improve.

      — Gary Walsh

      Sumptuously and deeply ripened, but with the brightness and vivaciousness that derives from a later season such as 2015, this mouthfilling and supple wine delivers luscious cassis, dark plum, and mulberry flavour backed by chocolatey, cedary oak and a fine, pliant spine of loose-knit tannins. It’s smooth and approachable, but will certainly develop in the bottle. Drink 2023-2027+.
