The lovely gardens below the restaurant.

by iandsmith

Rosemount Estate is a famous name in wines in the Hunter Valley. From a small beginning it grew.
And grew and grew until it was taken over.
Starting off bottling a few hundred thousand, they were talking of 15,000,000 per annum.
Sadly, as ever in these situations, the mega group that bought them out decided to close the whole operation.
C'est tragique!
The nearby town of Denman, where most of the workers lived, is devastated.
The touristy part is still open and there's a nice restaurant and you can still buy wine there but, the gloom of the bottling plant closure hovers as a dark cloud.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
