Estate Crafted.
“The work to make the very best wines is all started in the vineyards. We work with meticulous detail, using a thought process that challenges the current way of doing things, which we believe drives positive change. This is all dovetailed by the love for what we do every day, which in turn is a pure reflection of what you will experience from our wine.”
At Rosenvale Vineyard we make wines reflective of the source, in which we express the variation of soil and climate optimally. Our wines are matured in French and American oak and we integrate the oak to add to the structure and finesse of the wine to enhance delicate flavours. We strive for wines of the highest quality by avoiding superfluous manipulations and by using methods in its pure style, focusing on expressing the true terroir, the vineyard and the spectrum of variety.
Our winery has open and closed top vats for fermenting and the resulting wine is squeezed from the skins with our modern, open cage bag press which simulates the basket press but with better control to keep some of the traditional winemaking activities alive and have an important part in our wines.
The winemakers use minimal interference during ferment to bring out the essence of the vineyard. Oak barrel maturation is carried out in temperature controlled cellars to compliment a wine as required. Then when satisfied we have done our best, the wine is bottled. Finished bottled wines are then stored in temperature-controlled cellars.
We value authentic and reliable relationships that share our passion for wine grapes and the resulting wines within our family, our customers, and our community.
