Why we choose to make wine the way we do at Rosewood is simply to eliminate egotistical variables in the winery that would detract from the expression of each season’s story. While the wine matrix is incredibly complex, the set of conditions to prepare, consider and react to in the vineyard are monumentally larger.
In the wine cellar at winter, we practice patience. Not in the sense of letting time pass and witnessing what happens, but more of an introspective behaviour of being open to possibility. I find it equal parts exciting and terrifying to revisit maturing wines that you’ve had to ignore during the care of the new harvest. 
Rosewood’s story begins nearly 90 years ago when R.W. Roman’s passion for beekeeping and mead began as a teenager in West Ukraine. After arriving in Canada, he continued keeping bees with his son, Eugene Roman – Rosewood’s founder.
