The Cherry Tree Hill vineyard is located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. This region is the newest grape growing area in Australia and produces award winning premium cool climate wines. The Lorentz family have owned and run the property for over 30 years now and have been producing grapes since 2003.
Rotherwood is an historic estate in the picturesque Southern Highlands of NSW. Undulating hills, fertile paddocks and the production of a wealth of prime livestock and produce distinguish this district that is located midway between Sydney and Canberra. Grapes were planted in the region as far back as the mid nineteenth century and in recent years the Highlands has been recognised as an exciting area for the production of premium cool climate wines.
Rotherwood Estate Wines is a family owned vineyard with 11 hectares under vine. The vineyard was planted in 2007 after extensive preparation of the site under the supervision of a specialist team drawn from around the country. The plantings comprise Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Viognier, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Saperavi. These varietals thrive in the cooler summer Highland temperatures and on our north facing, sloping vineyard paddock are provided with the length of ripening which gives cool climate wines their distinct character. Indeed, at Rotherwood, distinction matters in everything we do – from the nurturing of the soil to the final picking of the fruit. We will continue to work tirelessly with uncompromising attention to detail from soil preparation to hand harvesting, to produce wines of a truly special quality.
