Rich and powerful, this Cabernet Sauvignon also demonstrates great purity of fruit, revealing a bouquet of blackcurrant, mint and lovely toasted nuances. Its structure and its still somewhat firm tannins promise it a very good future in the cellar. A wine that will reach its peak after ten or fifteen years of aging.

About this wine
Rockford's Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Australian red wine produced in the Barossa Valley. The grapes are hand-picked and fermented in small batches, before being aged in French oak barrels for 12 months. The result is a full-bodied, complex wine with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and spice.
On the palate, the wine has a rich, velvety texture with flavours of dark fruits, tobacco and cedar. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of dark chocolate. Rockford's Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon is a great choice for pairing with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
If you're looking for a classic Australian red wine with a complex flavor profile, Rockford's Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent choice. Its full-bodied texture and long finish make it a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
