This small, family-owner winery was established in north-eastern Victoria by the first William Chambers in 1858. In 2001, after a highly distinguished career, Bill Chambers OAM handed over the winemaking function to his sone Stephen, making him the sixth generation of the family to make wine at Rosewood. Today, the distinctive rose logo on the Chambers label is recognised as the benchmark of unique, fortified wines that continue to attract attention throughout the world. In spite of the typically laconic style of the Chambers operation, Robert Parker Jnr rated Chambers Rare Muscat and Rare Muscadelle with a Perfect Score in his 2005 Wine Advocate.
The non-irrigated vines, many of which are over 80 years old, produce low yields with wonderful concentrated flavours.
Rich and spicy, the nut, coffee and black cherry flavours keep building upon one another to finish explosively with more cherry, caramel and coffee notes on the long finish.
The wine will not deteriorate once opened and will allow months of drinking pleasure.
Serve as an aperitif or after dinner drink.
