Contact: Gerald Rowland

In 1991, Gerry and Linda Rowland reintroduced the Ramspeck label, more than 450 years after the Ramspeck family's first release in 1537, in Europe. The Rowland label was released in 1995 followed by the Cenay label in 1997. Rowland firmly believes that great wine begins on the vine thus he manages the vineyards so the fruit will reflect its unique soil and microclimate. As winemaker his goal is to enhance the rich, individual character of his grapes in a hand-crafted style using a combination of modern and centuries-old techniques.

7000 cases of wine (Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah) are produced annually, drawn from the appellations of Napa Valley, California, USA and Central Otago, South Island of New Zealand. The Napa Valley fruit comes from 20 acres of primarily mountainside vineyards in the" Red Triangle " of Atlas Peak, Stags Leap and Coombsville. The New Zealand fruit come from the worlds coolest and most southern viticultural region of Central Otago.

he caliber of Rowland wines starts from Gerald Rowland’s control over all facets of the process, from vine management, his choice of winemaking products and techniques, package design and marketing the wines.
Rowland’s pursuit of quality in all aspects of winemaking led to an unexpected endeavor: inventions. Not always finding equipment to meet his high standards, Rowland designed and refined tools for winemaking. Since California winemakers have been quick to recognize the benefits of such equipment, the tools can be found in most West Coast wineries.
