About Us:
The compass rose always displays the cardinal directions or winds: North, South, East, and West. The emblem of Compass Rose Cellars exhibits the cardinal winds, plus four major wind directions: Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. The eight major winds on the Compass Rose Cellars emblem are intersected by eight half-winds at the median degree and minute.
When cartographers connected the wind directions with inner and outer circles, the compass resembled the petals of a blossoming rose. Cartographers chose to refer to this elegant combination of art and science as a compass rose.
