In
just over thirty years, Rosemount Estate has established itself as one of Australia’s
leading wineries. Most of the fruit used for its celebrated red wines is grown
in McLaren Vale, just an hour's drive south of Adelaide.Rosemount’s commitment
to quality has led to the creation of wines renowned for their full flavoured,
easy drinking style. This unique combination is the magic of Rosemount, and has
been lauded around the world by wine lovers, critics and judges alike.
Bob Oatley founded the winery in 1969 from an Upper Hunter Valley base, but
it has grown way beyond that. There are now Rosemount vineyards in Mudgee and
Orange in New South Wales, and in the Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek
and McLaren Vale areas of South Australia
Rosemount Estate’s McLaren Vale operations offer an insight into the
winemaker’s success. They have taken traditional winemaking and blended
it with modern Australian techniques to make full-flavoured fruit-driven wines
which are finding favour with wine drinkers around the globe.
This year, (2002) Rosemount Estate had the honour of winning the prestigious
Jimmy Watson trophy, which is awarded for a red wine less than one year old and
yet to be bottled.
