It was initially developed in 2000 with most recent plantings in 2021 to now comprise 101 hectares (250 acres) of established classic Barossa Valley red wine grape plantings.

No suggested price range has been offered although agents say premium Barossa Valley vineyards planted to classic red wine grapes would be expected to achieve rates above $100,000 per hectare.
Mr Altschwager said Rosedale is "an impressive vineyard" with records indicating the vineyard consistently produces yields and revenue above the regional benchmark, driving exceptional profitability.
The vineyard has supplied major wine companies and well-known brands for many years.
