About Rosby Wines
Rosby is a small vineyard about 10 kilometres north of Mudgee, wholly owned and operated by the Norton-Knight family. After planting a 15-acre block of shiraz and cabernet sauvignon grapes in 1996, the Norton-Knights started producing some of the most consistently excellent red wine grapes in the area and soon won a long-term contract to provide fruit to Southcorp, along with other high-profile local vineyards Abercorn and Huntington. Early vintages saw Abercorn win several gold medals and trophies for its wine made with Rosby grapes, and so the Norton-Knights decided to retain a small parcel of fruit for their own wine label.
Rosby is different to other vineyards in the Mudgee region for several reasons. It was planted on a unique high-altitude north-facing block, which makes it resistant to frost and many common mildews found in the area. The block was also chosen for its rich basalt soil over quartz gravel, providing excellent drainage and a natural high-nutrient delivery system. In addition to its enviable position, the vineyard is closely managed by both the vigneron (Gerald Norton-Knight) and winemaker (Tim Stevens of Huntington) in a way that facilitates high-quality, low-yield crops of no more than two tonnes an acre through bunch-thinning and specialised pruning techniques. This further cements Rosby as one of Mudgee's best-rated and vineyards and most exclusive wine labels.
Low-impact farming might be the latest buzz right now, but at Rosby, it's the way it's always been and the only way to stay. From bud burst to bottle, Rosby wines are grown, made and distributed with personal attention trumping automation, so when you place an order with Gerry, chances are it will be him who turns up on your front step with the precious cargo later that week.
Enjoy your Rosby red, made with love and purely for the enjoyment of friends.
