Rowlee Wines Guide

Rowlee is a producer with a particular focus on Pinot Noir — the variety that Orange's cool climate and high elevation suit so naturally. A smaller operation that prioritises quality over volume, Rowlee produces Pinot Noir with the intensity, complexity, and site expression that make Orange one of Australia's most exciting regions for this demanding grape. For Pinot Noir enthusiasts, a Rowlee tasting is essential.

The Wines

The Pinot Noir is the centrepiece — vibrant, complex, and made with the attention to detail that this variety demands. Rowlee also produces Chardonnay and other varieties, all showing the cool climate precision that characterises the best Orange wines. The production is small enough that vintages sell through — visiting the cellar door is the best way to access the current range.
