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

While the legendary Bill Chambers is often to be found at the cellar door over the weekends, it is his son Stephen, who heads up the winemaking team after taking up the operation in 2001.

Rutherglen RARE Classification. Limited Bottling

Exotic raisins, black cherry and dried fruit aromas and flavours. The solera for this wine is meticulously maintained and has been for over 90 years, and for a wine to be considered worthy to enter the Rare solera, the single vintage must be of exceptional quality. This Rare Muscat is produced using a modified solera, which has been in operation since the late 19th Century and was established by WH Chambers (3rd Generation) with late 1800s base wines. Serve after dinner with plum and rich chocolate pudding or even by itself. Once opened the wine can be enjoyed over many months.

It is amazing how many sensational efforts emerge from this country. This luxurious offering possesses such extraordinary unctuosity, thickness, complexity, and richness that it must be tasted to be believed. It is not just a big, thick sugar ball, because it has sound underlying acidity as well as remarkable complexity and freshness. A spoonful or two is enough for most non-gluttons to appreciate the riveting heights this cuvee represents. The wine possesses notes of smoke, roasted nuts, coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, prunes, honey, fruitcake, overripe orange/apricots, and remarkable spicy characters. This is a riveting example of a fortified dessert wine that I enthusiastically recommend. I use the Rosewood sweeties for many charitable meals/wine tastings I donate, and guests always go ga-ga over these rarities. In summary, life is too short not to try this wine ... a true Australian treasure. Rating: 100 Points; Robert Parker The Wine Advocate
