Chambers Rosewood Old Vine Rutherglen Muscat from Rutherglen, Victoria, Australia, is a superb Red (fortified) wine, crafted from Muscat à Petits Grains Rouge grapes. This sweet fortified wine undergoes a unique vinification process, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks, fortification with neutral grape spirit, and ageing in old oak casks, with a special solera system for the 'Old Vine' expression. It offers complex aromas of orange peel, raisin, and rose petal, leading to a warming, luscious palate with a rich texture and hints of wood spice, culminating in a clean, fresh finish. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs wonderfully with cheese or a wide variety of desserts.

37.5CL , 17.5% ABV

Fruit is harvested in March and April. On arrival in the winery, the grapes are destemmed and the must placed into closed stainless steel fermenters where a short fermentation of between 0.5 to 4% ABV is performed. The must is then pressed using a Willmes airbag press and the fermenting juice is fortified with neutral grape spirit. The resultant wine is then placed into stainless steel tanks for settling. After settling, the wines are aged in old oak casks as individual vintages and vineyards until entry into the Old Vine Solera. The vintage needs to be of a level of quality to enter into this Solera, which is determined by taste.

This fortified Muscat offers complex aromas of orange peel, raisin, and rose petal. On the palate, it is warming and luscious with a rich texture, mingling dried fruit characters and a hint of wood spice, leading to a clean, fresh finish.
