Rockford Wines was started with no money, no customers, and no reputation…just a dream. Rockford was established in 1971 by Robert O’Callaghan, a winemaker with a passion for heritage and tradition. O’Callaghan, who had trained at Seppelt, purchased an old stone settler’s cottage and converted it into a winery.Rockford Winery, located in the heart of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, is now one of the most cherished and traditional wineries in the region. Known for its dedication to preserving the craftsmanship of winemaking, Rockford has built a reputation for producing some of Australia’s finest and most authentic wines.
Combining old-world methods with the exceptional quality of Barossa fruit, Rockford became one of Australia’s most beloved wineries. The Basket Press Shiraz is one of the true cult wines in our country and is often the cornerstone of many wine collections in Australia.
