Gippsland Wine Company Rosé

Gippsland Wine Company vigneron, Mark Heath, spent 40 years’ working across wine sales, marketing and production in Barossa Valley, Clare Valley and Yarra Valley before venturing into his own vineyards in Gippsland, finally settling at Loch. Mark’s long experience and knowledge of the industry prepared him for his role as Associate Judge at the Gippsland Wine Awards. As well as Loch Village Vineyard, Mark sought out neglected vineyards for long term contracts, coaxing them back to life rather than reverting them to grazing pasture. Site selection is invariably north-south planting to provide a bit of westerly leaf cover from the sun and wind.
