Actually Mataro Grenache Shiraz
Winemaker and owner Travis O'Callaghan, son of Robert which is the history of Rockford.
The wine has blue fruit and a deep character
A mineral vein and a velvety profile
It has a long aftertaste

This winery put a lot of emphasis on the mataro
The fruits are sourced from vineyards looked after by the Hofmann family and the vines are a mix of youngish and older plants

@Delectable Wine: This is the Sans Soufre Syrah. I didn’t see it in the database.

What a crazy wine. I had the pleasure of meeting Travis (a second time) in Seattle while I was traveling, and popped an Egly Ouriet Les Crayeres while we talked all things Kobayashi. He told me this 2020 was drinking great, so I had to see for myself.

Sans Soufre. Travis recommended an hour decant. He was spot on. After an hour, this came alive! So perfumed. Intoxicating aromatics. Deeply floral and bright fruit all over. Blue fruit, spiced pepper. Great weight to it. Very “pure”. It straddles Barossa Valley’s SamiOdi with the aromatics (rich and decadent black/blue/purple fruits) and channels more Cornas type of a vibe with its charcoal/savory mid palate. Has that distinct incense flavor that his Mizunara barrels impart, but I don’t think this wine touched those barrels.

Drank half from the decanter over two hours, then I corked it and had the second half the following day and it held strong/just as enjoyable. — 2 years ago

Texas winery production...do not pause! One of the best Texas white wines ever tasted, mysterious hints of Russian River whites! Very nice on the palate and finish...great for hot summers. I am not a white wine drinker but still enjoyed this wine...light fruit and lemony finish, somewhat sophisticated. Balanced and smooth drinker, not sweet but tart enough. Winery locale very remote with deep Australian roots, multiple generation vintner. Grapes of the Barossa Valley, winery near enough to Austin, TX and Lake Travis. Only available at the tasting room of the winery or the club ...which has over 1000 members! — 4 years ago
