Our Vineyard & Wine
Our wine, La Bella Rosa, is crafted exclusively from the Pinot Noir grapes cultivated at the Mt Rosa Lodge vineyard, specifically clone 777. This Pinot Noir made its debut in 2008, marking the inaugural vintage from this small, distinctive, and privately owned single vineyard site.
​
We take immense pride in having Alan Brady, the founder of Gibbston Valley Wines, as our winemaker. La Bella Rosa is meticulously produced on a small scale, yielding just 4-5 barrels annually.
