Rockford Alicante Bouschet 2025
A red-fleshed grape that needs no skin contact to turn a Barossa rosé this vivid.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Alicante Bouschet, genetically linked to Grenache and well suited to the Barossa Valley's warm Mediterranean climate. The variety naturally ripens to low sugar levels, giving a wine of low alcohol, and its bright red flesh means the skins and juice don't need extended contact to extract colour and flavour before pressing. The wine is handmade using equipment from the turn of the last century.
Taste Profile: An aromatic and light rosé, opening with a full nose of berry and cherry aromas. Juicy and fruit-driven, it dances on the palate thanks to zippy acidity and a light body, with a sweet appeal from ripe red fruit flavours closing in a pleasant, dangerously drinkable finish.
Winemaking Process: Handmade using century-old equipment at Rockford's Krondorf winery in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, in keeping with the estate's traditional, minimal-intervention approach.
Winemaker: Rockford was founded by Robert O'Callaghan, who bought the old stone winery buildings in the village of Krondorf in 1971 — many built in the 1850s from local stone — and released his first vintage in 1984. After training at Seppelt in the 1960s and watching the Barossa's old vines pulled out during the modernisation era of the 1970s, O'Callaghan set out to preserve the region's traditional, hand-made winemaking style, still using century-old equipment at Rockford today.
