Drinking well now but will develop over the next 5 years

Producer:

Established in the early 1980′s Rosabrook was one of the first pioneers of the Margaret River wine region. Now owned by the Calneggia family, Rosabrook is one of Margaret River’s premium wine producers.

Under the direction of winemaker Brian Fletcher the winemaking philosophy is to allow the natural characteristics of the fruit to drive the wine, with minimal interference. Brian studied oenology at Charles Sturt University and began his career in winemaking in 1978 in Australia.

A versatile winemaker with multiple awards for his work, he is one of Margaret River’s most acclaimed wine makers. Over his thirty year career he has held a number of prestigious winemaking positions including Chief winemaker at St Huberts and Evans & Tate and also spent time in Italy as Production Director for Casa Vinicola Calatrasi in Sicily.

Although a veteran winemaker for the region he is somewhat of a quiet achiever and prefers to stay out of the limelight and in the vineyard with his beloved vines.
