Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2022

Iconic Aussie Shiraz, with Barossa soul 🍷🔥

Rockford Basket Press is one of Australia’s most collected reds. A First Classified (First Growth) in Langton’s Classification, it’s chased vintage after vintage - right up there with Penfolds Grange and Henschke Hill of Grace.

The 2022 is classic Basket Press: sourced from dry-grown Barossa vineyards aged 60 to 130 years and made using traditional basket press techniques. It’s all about purity and structure - spicy, earthy, layered, and powerful.

With limited production and serious aging potential, this is one of the country’s most collectible Shiraz releases - and a must-have for any serious cellar.

What the experts say about this wine

94
points

"A deeply flavoured and classically styled Barossa Shiraz, showing layers of ripe dark fruit, spice and earthy complexity. The palate is rich yet balanced with supple tannins and impressive length."

Huon Hooke, The Real Review

"A powerful yet beautifully controlled Shiraz, delivering blackberry, plum and spice with savoury depth. The structure is firm but polished, suggesting excellent cellaring potential."

Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

Rockford wine investment guide: Basket Press Shiraz returns & value
Rockford isn't just a winery - it's a living time capsule born from discarded vineyard tools and a bold vision to celebrate the Barossa Valley's past. When Robert O'Callaghan founded Rockford in 1984, he chose forgotten equipment and century-old vines while others rushed toward modernity, creating Australia's most revered traditional wines.
