Chambers Rosewood Winery

First established by William Chambers in 1858, the Chambers family has been making wine at Rosewood for over six generations.

Bill Chambers and son Stephen, head up the winemaking team at Chambers Rosewood at Rutherglen in Victoria’s for their highly prized Muscats, Tokays and fortifieds. The “Rare” fortified wines are nothing less than national treasures, with famed wine writer Robert Parker writing “these are some of the world’s most remarkable dessert wines.” and regularly rewarding them with perfect scores of 100 points.

Chambers Rosewood Vineyard

Home to 80 year old non-irrigated vines with low yields, Chambers Rosewood grapes are packed with concentrated flavour and palate richness typical of the wines from Rutherglen.

Chambers Rosewood Wine Types

Aside from its rare and grand fortified varieties Muscadelle and Muscat, Chambers Rosewood produces dry wines from Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mondeuse and Durif.

Chambers Rosewood Winemaking

Winemaking is traditional here at Chambers Rosewood, particularly for the fortified wines with raisined grapes pressed to produce a rich and viscous nectar that is partially fermented before addition of spirit. Then the maturation begins in old barrels that heat and cool with the seasons until late bottling sometimes after decades in barrel giving unique and complex wines of the highest quality.
