Rosslyn Park, South Australia
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Rosslyn Park ( 34°55'S, 138°40'E) is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Burnside. Most of Rosslyn Park started life as paddocks belonging to Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold, of Penfolds Wine. Dr Penfold was an English emigrant who purchased 500 acres of land in the area in 1844. Here he planted vines and established Penfolds as one of the leading winemakers in Australia. He and subsequent generations of his family resided at the Grange Cottage, to the east of Penfold Rd.
Dr Penfold became the first chairman of the District Council of Burnside in 1856.
Upon Dr Penfold's death in 1870, his son-in-law, Thomas Highland, assumed control of the business, and began to sell some of the land.
The area of Rosslyn Park to the west of Gordon Tce, between Kensington Rd and the Parade, was sold in 1877 to a syndicate comprised of:
James Gartrell, merchant
Thomas Gordon, accountant
William Taylor, draper
Alexander McGeorge, draper
David Tweedy, land agent
The syndicate subdivided the land, and sold parcels of it the next year.
Wine production declined at the Rosslyn Park site in the 20th century as production shifted to other areas in SA. The last vintage of Penfolds Wine was crushed at Magill Estate in 1972. Prior to and following this, subdivision of the land surrounding Magill Estate continued.
The area bounded by Penfold Rd, Park Ave, Edgcumbe Tce and The Parade was formerly the site of Joseph Gillard Jnr's (manager at the Grange vineyard) main vineyard. It was sold and subdivided by Penfolds in around 1912.
The area around Angove Ct and Edgcumbe Tce contains the former family home of Dr Roger Angove, inaugural President of the Burnside Historical Society. This land was subdivided in 1960. The family stables remained until they were demolished by a landowner in 1970.
A larger subdivision occurred in the early 1980s, when owners Tooth & Co sold much of the area to the east of Penfold Rd, resulting in the survival of only the core of the former winery, including production plants and Grange Cottage.
By far the most notable landmark in Rosslyn Park is the Magill Estate branch of Penfolds Winery. This site offers cellar door sales, tours and the award winning Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant. The winery's landmark chimney is visible throughout the area.
Also located at Magill Estate is the historic Grange Cottage. This was constructed by Dr Penfold and his wife, Mary, in 1845, and named after Mary's home town in England. The famous Grange Hermitage wine was in turn named after the cottage.
