Roseworthy, town north of Adelaide in the state of south australia, close to the Barossa Valley, known in the wine world for Australia’s first agricultural college, established in 1883. It trained a high proportion of winemakers and viticulturists in Australia and New Zealand and contributed greatly to the technical standing of the Australian wine industry (see australian influence) until 1991 when it was relocated to the Waite campus of the University of Adelaide, where the australian wine research institute and csiro were already sited.
