Cellar or drinkRed wineAustraliaChampagne corkInvestment grade

A Barossa icon, with bubbles 🍷✨

Rockford Sparkling Black Shiraz is one of Australia’s most unique and collectible wines—bold, rich, and unapologetically festive. Disgorged in 2024, this release combines the depth and intensity of Rockford Shiraz with the elegance of fine bubbles.

Made in small quantities and recognised as a Classified (Second Growth) in Langton’s Classification, it’s one of the country’s most sought-after sparkling reds. Expect dark berries, spice, and savoury complexity, wrapped in a velvety mousse and a dry, lifted finish.

A cult favourite for Christmas Day, but just as good any time you’re ready to open something unforgettable. Drink now, or cellar to let the layers unfold.

What the experts say about this wine

I’ll never forget a Sparkling Shiraz I found in my father’s cellar at Seppelt’s Barooga vineyard when I was a kid – I can taste it now. Many years later, when I worked at Seppelt’s Rutherglen, I met Colin Preece, the master responsible for the great old wines. Ever since, I’ve wanted to make a wine of my own that reflected his attitude and technique. This is it: Black Shiraz matured in seasoned oak, revitalised by bottle fermentation, left on lees before disgorgement and liqueuring, and then put straight back into the cellar. You’d be doing us both a favour if you left it there a bit longer so it can really show its best. But watch your kids.
