Rosemount (wine)
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Australian English
Rosemount, previously Rosemount Estate Wines,[1] is an Australian winery based in the Hunter Valley and South Australia, owned by Treasury Wine Estates.[2] At the turn of the 21st century, Rosemount was the second-best selling Australian wine brand in the United States.[3]
History
The company was established in 1969 by Bob Oatley and was Australia's largest family owned winery[3] until its March 2001 merger with Southcorp Wines,[2] which in 2005 merged with the Foster's Group.
From 1977[4] or earlier, to at least 1995[5] its managing director was Chris Hancock, who graduated into management from a career of winemaking with Penfolds (he was behind the 1971 Grange Hermitage).[6]
Rosemount's first commercially released wine was a Chardonnay-Sémillon labeled as Pinot Riesling, reflecting the Hunter Valley tradition of then calling Sémillon "Hunter Riesling".[7]
In October 2000, Rosemount announced a partnership with Robert Mondavi Winery to create a joint venture marketing both Californian and Australian wines under a new label collaboration.[3]
