SVS Series

Rockford's SVS collection was a limited-production series created to showcase distinctive expressions of Barossa Shiraz. Produced in small quantities and originally available exclusively through the cellar door, these wines were released after extended maturation and were never intended for broad commercial distribution.

The discontinued series includes several individual releases, with SVS Pressings representing a separate bottling from Rockford's renowned Basket Press Shiraz. Surviving bottles from the 1998 vintage are increasingly sought after by collectors interested in the history of traditional Barossa winemaking.
