Rosedale Wines has been able to create strong identifiable brands, in particular the Cat Amongst the Pigeons series, by combining tradition with new thinking. Their vision is oh so simple: to become a national and international brand recognized for its premium quality wines at affordable prices.
The grapes for this wine come from the Barossa Valley, a region of Australia which instantly sets the stage for some of the best Shiraz grapes in the world. With its rich soils and Mediterranean style climate, the result is red wines with rich character. And let’s not forget about the Grenache portion of the blend which comes from 120 year old Grenache vines!!
