Rowlee are one of the new guard of high quality, small volume producers that are redefining the modern day wine scene in Orange. Pale and bright. Lemon blossom, musk, pear, pink apple and almond. Bright, fresh and pure, with an elegant mix of white and yellow fruit, silken texture, crunchy acidity and some faint herb and grilled nut characters to finish.

Vermentino is widely planted throughout the Mediterranean, often along the shore lines of both coasts and islands, where it produces bright clean lively wines with classic sea spray and wild herb characters. The variety has good acidity and can be made in several styles. The lighter aromatic style achieved with light pressing and cool fermentations generally without skin contact or oak maturation highlights the varieties fresh fruit and acidity. The grapes for our 2022 Vermentino are frome the Central Ranges grown at altitude on the slopes of Mount Canobolas at Orange. The wine was stored on lees in tank for 3 months prior to bottling. The resulting wine is pale straw in colour with slight green tinges. It has aromas of orange blossom, ripe nashi and a flinty background. The palate is rich with ripe citrus flavour and the wine finishes with a touch of salinity and a slight pithy grapefruit bitterness. The perfect wine with grilled sardines.

Fresh, lively and juicy with lovely pear aromas. Full of succulent pear and ripe apple with a hint of spice on the palate. A clean and dry finish.

Their daughter, Nicole Samodol, and her partner James Manny ‘combine European wine growing heritage with New World practices. This is a Gold, 95pt Single Vineyard Fumé Blanc from Orange. Fumé Blanc means ‘smoked white’ – and suggests that the Sauvignon was at least in part exposed to oak to lend it a somewhat smoky flavour and greater texture. and a portion of this was fermented in French Oak. Shanteh Wale in The Halliday Wine Companion calls it: "poised and fruit-laden... moreish and decadent, bright and energetic" and gives it a whopping 95pts and a star for special value. Sam Kim praises its "... beautifully pitched acidity. Harmonious and structured..." and Jeni Port, Winepilot adds that it has: “…just enough cut and bite of acidity to finish with a real snap of freshness”. (Jeni Port, Winepilot).

Pithy, intense and focused with flavours of white pepper, citrus fruit and fresh green herbs. There's mouth-watering acidity and a fine, chalky finish. Lower than average yields have given this wine extraordinary texture.

The clever team from this winery have created three labels that that all over deliver that their price points. The middle tier, Stella Bella, is a Fine Wine favourite, and this blend shows why. Fresh citrus, gooseberry, custard apple, stone fruits, sweet herbs & spice are all rolled into one great little wine.

Wine is characterized with a greenish-yellow colour. The smell is typified with expressed herbal fruity notes of fern and citrus tones. Its taste ample with harmony, softness and roundness.

This Sauvignon Blanc from the Adelaide Hills performs exceptionally well. It produces the right balance of ripe gooseberry fruits, fresh herbs and citrus acidity. Clean, crisp and refreshing, this savvy is a mouthful.
