Rowsley Fault
Makers of Rowsley Fault & Sutherlands Creek
Named after the ancient fault line on which the Sutherlands Creek vineyard lies, Rowsley Fault sits on the western edge of the Port Phillip Basin where it meets the Moorabool Valley.
The rich volcanic loam soils rest on a layer of limestone. These conditions show particular promise for a range of European varietals that are emerging in the Rowsley Fault “exotic nursery'. With vineyards across Sutherlands Creek and Russells Bridge, the fruit from the vineyard produces both the Sutherlands Creek label as well as the iconic Rowsley Fault Wine.
Winemaker Brett Snelson brings a wealth of European experience to the vineyard placing Rowsley Fault at the forefront of “old world” inspired wines. With Muscadelle, Nebbiolo and Gracaino joining more traditional varieties, the range of Spanish, French and Italian inspired wines capture the essence of the Mediterranean like climate of the Moorabool Valley.
