Ros Ritchie, Mansfield, Victoria

She was the winemaker for Delatite for the next 25 years, producing and growing the range of wines; these included the classic aromatics, methode champenoise sparkling, as well as red varietals and blends.
Many of these wines gained consistent critical acclaim both nationally and internationally, with 13 trophies, 39 Gold, 67 Silver and over 210 Bronze medals.

Baxendale's Vineyard
The ripe, small-berried bunches were hand-picked from Rows 16-20 of Baxendale’s vineyard which was un-irrigated, 570 metres high in the Whitlands hills.
With dark ruby colour and a bouquet of ripe blackberry and dark fruits and some liquorice and eucalypt tones, the wine was matured in new (30%) and young French oak barriques for 22 months; these rich and warm flavours are enhanced by subtle oak characters and fine tannins. Production: 220 cases
