History

Established in 2007.

Our 450 acre Rosemont Estate has been in the Rose Family since 1858, with the home place actually dating back to the mid-1700’s. Over generations, our farming operations have included vegetable farming, a peach orchard, beef cattle, dairy farming and commodity crops such as hay, tobacco, corn and soybeans. In 2003 we continued the journey as stewards of the land, planting over 32,000 grape vines across 22 acres.

Our winemaker, Justin Rose, had come back to help with the new family venture, and in the Fall of 2006 enrolled at Napa Valley College to study viticulture and oenology, while interning at O’Shaughnessy Winery and Capiaux Cellars. In 2007, Justin returned to Rosemont to help oversee the final construction of Rosemont Winery and that Fall, lead the first harvest and production of Rosemont of Virginia wines. Since his first vintage in 2007, his wines have won numerous awards, including ‘Best in Show’ at the 2010 Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition.
