Rockford Alicante Bouchet 2025 750ml

Vibrant, Juicy, and Unmistakably Rockford - The Barossa’s Most Iconic Summer Red! Rockford Alicante Bouschet 2025 is one of the Barossa Valley’s most beloved and instantly recognisable wines. Served slightly chilled, it’s bright, aromatic, and bursting with pure red fruit — a throwback to traditional Australian “fruity reds” but elevated through Rockford’s artisanal craftsmanship. Every vintage sells out almost instantly, earning it true cult status among collectors and summer wine lovers alike. Tasting Notes Aroma: Fresh raspberry, cherry, and wild strawberry with a floral lift. Palate: Light, juicy, and beautifully balanced with lively red fruits, gentle sweetness, and crisp acidity. Finish: Refreshing and smooth with a clean, berry-filled finish that invites another sip. Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions Serve lightly chilled with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, barbecued prawns, or Mediterranean salads. It’s also the perfect picnic red; fun, fresh, and utterly drinkable.
