Old Vine Rutherglen Muscat NV [37.5cl]

Chambers Rosewood was founded in 1858 by William Chambers and his son Philip in Rutherglen, in the north-east corner of Victoria, where the wine industry grew out of the 1850s gold rush. Stephen Chambers, the sixth generation of the family, has made the wines since 2001, using vines as old as 120 years. The estate is celebrated worldwide for its fortified Rutherglen Muscat and Topaque, aged in old oak casks, some dating to the 1800s. In exceptional vintages, the Old Vine Muscat comes from a separate solera of low-yielding centenarian vines. The winery also shares its land with a working sheep farm: grape pressings feed the flock through the dry months, and the sheep return the favour by fertilising the soil and keeping the undergrowth down among the vines.
