      Classic Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon character, traditional craftsmanship and remarkable regional expression define this distinguished red wine from one of Australia's most respected family-owned wineries. The Rockford Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 takes its name from Rifle Range Road, a historic stretch of vineyard country that runs through the heart of the Barossa Valley and supplies much of the fruit for this wine. Since the winery's earliest days, the Rifle Range has been a cornerstone of the Rockford portfolio, celebrated for its ability to showcase Cabernet Sauvignon in a warm-climate Australian setting. Carefully selected fruit is sourced from mature vineyards, producing wines of depth, concentration and varietal definition.

      Rockford remains dedicated to traditional winemaking methods, employing small-scale techniques that preserve vineyard character and authenticity. Matured in seasoned oak, the wine develops complexity and texture without overwhelming the purity of the fruit. The 2022 vintage displays the richness and generosity associated with Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon while maintaining balance, structure and freshness. Layers of blackcurrant, plum and dark berry fruit are complemented by savoury notes, subtle herbs and fine-grained tannins. Although approachable in its youth, the wine possesses the structure and concentration to reward patient cellaring over the coming decade. It is a superb accompaniment to grilled beef, lamb, game dishes and mature hard cheeses.
