Winemaker: Brian Shaw

Meet Brian Shaw – The Heart Behind Our Wine

At Mt Rosa Lodge, we’re proud to have Brian Shaw as our esteemed winemaker. A graduate of Plumpton College in England, Brian's journey in wine has taken him across the globe—bringing hands-on experience from wine regions in Australia, the UK, and right here in

Central Otago, where he worked alongside the legendary Alan Brady at Wild Irishman Wines.

Brian’s background in both winemaking and wine retail, across New Zealand and the UK, gives him a well-rounded and deeply informed perspective. His passion for Pinot Noir runs deep, and his connection to the Central Otago landscape is evident in every bottle we produce.

With Brian’s expertise guiding the process, our La Bella Rosa Pinot Noir is a true expression of this remarkable region—crafted with care, knowledge, and a genuine love for the land.
