Rowlee is a family project that has its roots in the Dalmatian wine country on the Adriatic coastline of Croatia, where the family tradition of grape growing and wine making began. Revived here in Australia by Nik and Deonne Samodol with the establishment of our single vineyard in Orange, New South Wales.

We set out to combine European wine growing heritage with new world practices to produce grapes and wines that reflect the character of our vineyard. Today, winemaking and viticulture at Rowlee is overseen by Nicole and her partner James.

All our wines come from our eight hectare vineyard situated in ancient volcanic soils, in the foothills of Mount Canobolas. At 950 metres above sea level the vineyard is exposed to the cool climate and unique topography of the Orange Wine Region.

Soil is deep clay loam, red and brown, derived from basalt. This mix gives free draining soils and a mineral composition that supports the production of exceptional quality grapes.

Harvested by hand and crafted in small batches our aim is to make absolutely delicious wine. We work in harmony with the seasons to create the best quality wines from our vineyard.
