Rowe Wines

Richard Rowe has been making wine since the mid-1970s, building a distinguished career under the mentorship of legendary Australian winemaker Brian Croser and spanning Australia’s most respected regions, including the Clare Valley and Margaret River.

With over 50 years of experience, more than 400 gold medals and 150 international trophies to his name - including the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy - Richard is one of Australia’s most decorated winemakers. 

After influential roles at Leasingham, Kirrihill and as Chief Winemaker at Evans & Tate (where his wines won top show awards), and an impactful international tenure at South Africa’s KWV, Richard returned to Western Australia to consult with leading wineries before realising a long-held dream: launching Rowe Wines with his sons.
