Rockford Black Sparkling Shiraz - Disgorged 2011

This, quite simply, is a great sparkling Shiraz, inspired by the Sparkling Burgundies of Colin Preece at Great Western, and made using fundamentally the same techniques. The base wine is matured in large old wood for three years before being tiraged, and then left on lees for a year before disgorgement and further cellaring prior to release. This particular bottle was part of the 2011 disgorgement. Almost impossible to procure; sold only through a handful of retailers Australia wide.
