BACKGROUND
Established in 1998, the third generation of the O’Callaghan’s, Tim, has followed in the footsteps of his famous father, the man behind Rockford’s Basket Press Shiraz and set up Diggers Bluff in the famed Barossa Valley.
Having done time at Tyrrells, Yalumba, 3 vintages at Peter Lehmann, another 3 at Krondorf then and under the father & son rule, helped out at Rockford for 2 years, Tim certainly received the grounding to produce wines of great, structure, intensity and elegance. With no pressure to release the wines early, Tim waits until they are at their optimum, usually with a few years bottle age and still, they can age gracefully well into the future!
TASTING NOTES
A blend of Grenache/Shiraz/Mourvedré, this wine is ‘light to medium bodied; a fresh, spicy array of red and black fruits with fine, silky tannins; clean finish. Screwcap 13.4% Alc RATING 88
