Rossendale Wines is a family-owned winery located in Canterbury, New Zealand, just 15 km from Christchurch’s CBD. Founded with a passion for crafting exceptional wines, Rossendale has grown from its humble beginnings of planting three hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to becoming a significant wine producer and exporter.
The winery specialises in producing a variety of wines with an emphasis on varietal fruit characteristics, created and nurtured in their vineyards. Their portfolio includes Sauvignon Blanc, Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Rosé, and Pinot Noir.
Rossendale Wines has expanded its operations beyond its original Canterbury vineyard, now owning 45 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Blenheim, Marlborough. This expansion has allowed them to produce wines that showcase the distinct terroirs of both Canterbury and Marlborough regions.
The winery offers tastings at their cellar door, with weekend appointments available during warmer months. Visitors can experience the beauty of the working vineyard while sampling Rossendale’s locally crafted wines.
In addition to their domestic market presence, Rossendale has established itself as a notable exporter, producing wines under various brands for international markets. These include Cottesbrook and Governors Bay for the USA market, and Seven Terraces for Canada. The winery has partnerships with importers in the USA, Canada, and the UK, making their wines available to wine enthusiasts around the world.
Rossendale Wines is committed to innovation and sustainability. They have invested in packaging technology to produce 9L bags and 1.5L Bag in Box packages of premium Sauvignon Blanc, which are popular in the Canadian market for their eco-friendly design and convenience.
With its dedication to quality winemaking, beautiful vineyard setting, and growing international presence, Rossendale Wines continues to be a respected name in the New Zealand wine industry, offering wine lovers both locally and abroad a taste of Canterbury and Marlborough’s finest vintages.
