Texan RR1-T5 Goes to a New Home in Northampton

At Roman Road Speckle Park Cattle Stud, we have been proudly developing our stud line since 2022 with the goal of producing top-quality Speckle Park breeding stock. Today, we share a story that’s both a little bittersweet and incredibly exciting.

We are proud to announce the sale of our beautiful bull Texan RR1-T5, who has recently made his way to a new home near Northampton, Western Australia. Texan now lives with a young farmer who is establishing his own Speckle Park herd - and we couldn’t have asked for a better fit.

Texan has always been a gentle soul with a strong pedigree. He is the offspring of Kamarah Real Deal R322 (a striking leopard bull) and Kamarah Rouge R351 (a classic speckled dam), and he carries forward the kind of temperament and structure we aim for in all our cattle.

Texan celebrated his third birthday on Tuesday, 9 September, in style - with a big bucket of cattle cubes and a warm welcome from 15 beautiful Speckle Park heifers who now share his paddock.

Selling a bull like Texan is never an easy decision. Each of our animals is raised as part of our extended family, and every sale is made with great care and thought. That said, we are absolutely thrilled to have met Texan’s new owner and are confident he’ll be loved and well looked after in his new home.

We look forward to hearing how Texan settles in and seeing the legacy he creates as part of this exciting new herd.

Roman Road Joins A Taste of Chittering 2025

We were thrilled to be part of A Taste of Chittering 2025, a fantastic community event celebrating the Chittering region’s rich agricultural roots, local talent, and vibrant culture.

Held on a sunny Sunday, 31 August, this year’s festival drew an impressive crowd of around 6,000 visitors from across Western Australia. The atmosphere was lively, with families and foodies alike enjoying fresh local produce, handmade crafts, live entertainment, and interactive cooking demonstrations throughout the day.

Roman Road made its debut appearance at the event with a branded stall in the licensed area, where we offered complimentary tastings of our latest wines:

• Real Deal Shiraz 2024

• Volt Chenin 2025

• Tiffany Rosé 2025

It was a fun, busy day with plenty of interest in our wines - keeping Liza, Ian, and Michelle on their toes from start to finish! We loved meeting so many enthusiastic visitors and sharing what makes Roman Road wines special.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by - we can’t wait to return next year!

Roman Road Wines Earn Medals at Swan Valley Wine Show

We are delighted to share the results from the Swan Valley Wine Show, held in mid-August 2025, where we entered three of our wines: Real Deal Shiraz 2024, Volt Chenin 2025, and Tiffany Rosé 2025.

We are proud to announce the following results:

·       🥈 Real Deal Shiraz 2024 – Silver Medal

·       🥉 Volt Chenin 2025 – Bronze Medal

·       🍷 Tiffany Rosé 2025 – narrowly missed a Bronze by just 1 point

These results are a great validation of the hard work we put into crafting wines that reflect both our vineyard and the region.

It was also a pleasure to attend the awards night, connecting with others in the local wine industry and celebrating the quality coming out of the Swan Valley and surrounding regions.

We would also like to extend our congratulations to Ian Yurisich from our good friends at Olive Farm Wines who was officially recognised as an Icon of the Swan Valley 2025 - one of only a handful ever inducted since the award’s inception in 2010 for his contribution to shaping the history, character and future of the Swan Valley region.  Well done Ian!

Roman Road is a proud member of the Perth Hills Vignerons Association, and we have also submitted entries into the upcoming Perth Hills Wine Show. Judging takes place on 23 September, with the awards function on Friday, 26 September—so stay tuned. We’ve got our fingers crossed for more great results!

Australia Day Sparkling Harvest

It was a busy Australia Day for us at Roman Road hand picking our white wine grapes at Brockman Park for the first time.  We are super excited to announce that we are expanding our product line with a cheeky little Chardonnay/Chenin Sparkling combo.  In addition, we will also be producing separate Chenin and Chardonnay wines.

Our deepest gratitude goes to our family and friends that joined in on the day to experience hand picking in the elements, alongside our professional pickers.  Jobs included picking fruit, bin cleaning and distribution, yield collection, quality control and weighing.  Then the fruit was off to our wonderful friends at OFW who whole bunch pressed it and are now lovingly turning our grapes into Sparkling 😊

 Stay tuned for more harvest news soon………
