Rockbare work to a belief that wine should tell a story about the terroir whence it originates, that the vines deserve lots of love and care, that the winemaking process should be the subject of minimal handling to allow growers to do what they do best. Hand selected parcels of Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon are cold soaked for a fortnight of spontaneous ferment on skins, an extended gentle press into a choice selection of seasoned and new, European and French oak casks, followed by malolactic and a year's maturation. Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon of elegance and controlled power.
TASTING NOTES
Purple red with violet hues. Varietal herbaceous mint, briar and tomato leaf, blackcurrants, dusty cigar box and a hint of sweet toffee. Vibrant and youthful palate of blackcurrant pastille, wild berries and a lick of fresh stalky high notes meld with dark chocolate, a savoury touch of black olive and hints of nutmeg and cassis. Taut acidity and cedar oak hold the palate together, supple tannins contribute to the lengthy, dry and chalky finish.

About Rockbare Winery
RockBare was born out of Tim Burvill's desire to create his own wine from fruit grown to Australia's best viticultural regions
Growing up in Western Australia, Tim's interest in wine was sparked at a young age by frequent summer holidays to the Margaret River region. He fell in love with the world of wine, his passion eventually saw him move to South Australia, where he completed an honours degree at Adelaide University's Roseworthy Campus. His first job was with Southcorp, which as Tim puts it "was the best start to a winemaking career that anyone could ask for." For the next 5 years Tim worked with Southcorp, travelling the country plying his craft in the Coonawarra (Wynns) and the Barossa Valley (Penfolds), the Sunraysia and the Riverland, refining his style alongside some of the best winemakers in the country. A rapid rise through the ranks soon saw him vested with the responsibility at the age of 25, of making Southcorp's ultra-premium white wines, including Penfolds Yattarna. In 2001, Tim decided to follow his own path and began RockBare, focusing on Chardonnay and Shiraz from South Australia's McLaren Vale. Rockbare»
