{"product_id":"rockford-basket-press-shiraz-2023","title":"Rockford Basket Press Shiraz 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eA true Barossa icon, Rockford Basket Press Shiraz celebrates the region’s rich heritage and traditional winemaking craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003eSourced from established, dry-grown vineyards across the Barossa Valley floor (70%) and Eden Valley (30%), the fruit is processed using traditional equipment, with individual parcels kept separate throughout fermentation and oak maturation. Pressings are also kept separate for later blending, resulting in a wine of great complexity.\u003cbr\u003eThe 2023 vintage began with excellent spring rainfall, followed by a long, slow ripening season with no days exceeding 40°C. The wine was aged for two years in predominantly older French and American oak, with less than 10% new oak, followed by a further year of bottle ageing before release.\u003cbr\u003eDisplaying dark fruit and a tightly wound structure in its youth, the 2023 is a potential sleeper with excellent ageing prospects. Decant if enjoying young to allow its depth and complexity to unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68135965098305,"sku":"AU02732","price":195.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/7959\/0465\/files\/AU00778.jpg?v=1748393661","url":"https:\/\/sedimentary.au\/products\/rockford-basket-press-shiraz-2023","provider":"Sedimentary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
