I'm having a quiet night, relaxing and enjoying this lovely bottle of 2006 Shiraz, from a favourite winery, that I found packed away when I shifted residence recently . Even better, I understand it's Thirsty Thursday today.

To finish my series from the Rockford winery, here is the traditional 1890 "Basket Press" used to extract the juice from the grapes. Unfortunately it was not in action when I visited. The note shows a bottle of Rockford's prized "Basket Press Shiraz" from 2006. Which leads to this musical link. HFF and have an enjoyable weekend, everyone. Explored.

Rockfords winery prides itself on following traditional wine making processes, such as pressing the grapes in basket presses: that's one in the foreground. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Here's a musical link. Explored.

The Rockford Winery has old buildings, some great fences (also last week's HFF) and very good wines, so I keep returning. :-) Whatever ipernity may indicate, this was taken some years ago. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.

Australia's Barossa Valley avoided the ravages of phylloxera which decimated European vines in the late 19th century, so these old shiraz vines, at about 170 years, are among the world's oldest. Can't have a good wine without a song. :-)

After the harvest.
