Rocco Shiraz 2019
Portrait Series
$42.00
“Large in stature, humble by nature, our grandfather Rocco travelled halfway around the world to build a new life for himself and his bride in the Adelaide Hills. He worked the soil of his Basket Range market garden tirelessly for many decades as his family grew and prospered. His leap of faith continues to resonate, and he takes his rightful place in our Portrait Series as the one who embraced the pioneering spirit and, ultimately, determined our place in the Adelaide Hills”.
This elegant Shiraz wears its cool climate origins proudly. Bright pomegranate and spice characters, balanced with savoury herbal notes, fine tannins and a lingering finish.
Always a joy to blend from a selection of our very best barrels of the vintage; our Rocco Shiraz is an honest reflection of our place in the Adelaide Hills.
