Mount Rozier from South Africa Launches with East Meets West Fine Wines in Greater China

Shanghai, August 17^th, 2021 – East Meets West Fine Wines (Shanghai) Limited (EMW) and Mount Rozier of Western Cape, South Africa, signed an exclusive Import and Distribution Agreement for Greater China, including Hong Kong and Macau.

 

Nestled in the Shapenburg Hills, overlooking Somerset West, Mount Rozier is a beautiful, buzzing landscape of indigenous flora and fauna. The vineyards benefit from 350-million-year-old decomposed granite soil, a cool coastal breeze and altitude of about 200m above sea level, resulting in the magnificent terroir in South Africa.

 

Purchased by the Gabb family in 2010, Mount Rozier focuses on producing cool climate, elegant wines with zero compromise on quality. Its history can be traced back to its namesake, Annie Rozier, a local flower merchant in the 19^th century who gathered wild flowers on the slopes of what was once Myrtle Grove and sold them in the thriving city of Cape Town. Many of the wild flowers she picked were also used for producing medicine for the local community.

 

Inspired by this story, the Gabb family have kept the legacy of Annie Rozier alive creating a modern range of affordable wines rooted in nature and rich in narrative with each memorable, colorful label depicting a distinctive story from the farm. The result is a contemporary brand rooted in heritage that empowers consumers to make a positive choice and connects them to a sense of purpose.

 

 

The winery's little interference winemaking allows nature to take its course. The estate is committed to being socially and environmentally responsible with a tangible and deep respect for the environment, clearly apparent in their farming practices which are as close to nature as possible and following organic principles.

 

As well as being WEITA (Wine and Agricultural Ethical Trading Association), IPW (Integrated Production of Wine) and WWF (World Wildlife Fund) champion status, the wine is made in a 350-ton crush solar powered winery and parcels of fruit have been sourced from vineyards that are Fairtrade certified.
