Overview
When O’Shea first walked Rosehill in 1945, he saw in it something extraordinary, the same rare character he recognised in Old Hill and Old Paddock. The vines planted the following year have never left that promise behind.
Exclusively sourced from these original 1946 plantings, this wine reflects the earliest and most elemental expression of Rosehill. Slow ripening on volcanic soils builds concentrated yet delicate flavours and aromatics, supported by fine tannins delivering balance and depth.
Vineyard
Rosehill is one of Mount Pleasant's historic Hunter Valley vineyard sites. The original block, known as Creek Block, was planted in 1946 by Maurice O'Shea. The elevated Rosehill site is characterised by rich volcanic loam and a north-easterly aspect, conditions that favour gradual ripening and the vineyard's signature floral Shiraz character.
Producer Tasting Notes
COLOUR: “Deep purple with crimson hues.”
AROMA: “Fresh dark red fruits with lovely spice and unique violets that can only come from this great vineyard.”

97 Points — Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
“Exceptional tannin and structure and freshness... vivid and shimmery fruit and spice, a lift and almost floral nature to the wine.”
97 Points — Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front
“Tannins are very fine, chalky... Juice it bright and with red fruit sparks throughout. Great vivid energy and persistence.”
97 Points — Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
“Powerful but only medium-bodied, tannin is thick and ripe, and there’s such charm and sweetness to this old vine fruit.”
97 Points — Q Wine Reviews

95 Points — Huon Hooke, The Real Review
