History

Dr Penfold

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 (2.0 km²) 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. Penfolds is an Australian wine label. ...

Dr Penfold became the first chairman of the District Council of Burnside in 1856. Burnside is one of the more cultural cities in South Australia with a popluation of more than 3 million. ...

Sub-division

Upon Dr Penfold's death in 1870, his son-in-law, Thomas Hyland, 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: This article is about the association term. ...

Penfolds Magill Estate

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 the 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.
