As a uniquely positioned viticultural district nestled deep in the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, Mudgee has a great deal to offer the world of wine. The Hill of Gold vineyard and property have for nearly 30 years had an integral place within the history of Mudgee. Rosemount have undertaken to re-establish this long standing local wine name, adding several hundred acres of new plantings to the original site.

The outstanding combination of soils and climate that define the Mudgee wine region provide ideal viticultural foundations from which to produce distinctive varietal wines reflecting the unique terroir of their origin.

Vintage Conditions

Maturation

The grapes were crushed and de-stemmed before fermentation. A warm ferment with regular pumping over optimised the extraction of colour and flavour. Post fermentation, the wine was kept on skins for 10 days to allow the extraction of soft tannins.
