Rosehill was planted to Shiraz in 1946 and expanded in 1965 under chief winemaker Brian Walsh. Located at Pokolbin in the Lower Hunter Valley, the vineyard sits at 60–100 metres elevation on rich volcanic loam. The site is predominantly planted east-west, with some north-south rows following the contours to maximise sunlight penetration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCritic Reviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points — Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted December 2022\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDrinking Window: 2022–2037.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTasted August 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n“I always like this cuvee, from a majestic site imparting more transparent and fragrant wines than its siblings. Peony, violet, terracotta and succulent red cherry kirsch, splayed taut across a bow of tannins, sinuous and etched across the gums. The finish, sappy, detailed and of good length.
