Rockford Black Shiraz (Disgorgement 2023) – You Must Try!
Table of Contents
・Story of this Wine・
I would say Rockford Black Shiraz (Disgorgement 2023) is the pinnacle of 🍾sparkling red wines, being the only sparkling Shiraz to make it onto the prestigious Australian wine ranking, Langtons🥇! It uses its flagship Basket Press Shiraz as the base wine, which is aged and matured for many years before being bottled using the traditional Champagne method for secondary fermentation. After several years on lees, the sediment is removed, and then the finest fortified Shiraz VP is added for liqueuring, followed by further aging before it hits the market. With such intricate processes and many years invested, it’s no wonder this is a limited-edition treasure. 🥂🥂🥂
