Chambers Rosewood Winery & Vineyards — Attraction in Rutherglen

Excellent, Recently dropped in after 30 years! Dropped in with my beloved and teen daughters after 30 years away. Expect old tin sheds, they are cool and pleasant! Alicante Bouschet and Blue Imperial were my favorites years ago but sold out. I remember the Melbourne wine society had and exclusive on these years ago. On arrival and Kelpie alarm Bill obviously pulled himself out of a chair and proudly tasted me up after the friendly Kelpies gave us a lick an promise! Bill what a man, I remember him younger and as passionate yet under-rated in his own wine appraisals, he remains unchanged and of note. This is a vineyard of historic note with varietals you wont see elsewhere, from very old vines and experienced vintage techniques. Finding Chambers Rosewood is not hard and not far out of town, If you have kids there are swings and very friendly kelpies:))))

The rest I will enjoy at leisure with friends back in...

If you’ve got a couple of hours in Rutherglen and can only visit one winery, make it this one! The tasting room is lovely and the wines are fantastic. They’re incredibly generous with how many you can taste and the tasting notes are really helpful and well explained. If you want to take some bottles home they’re all delicious and really reasonably priced. The thing that really makes this place special though is the staff. Ruth was amazing at helping us pick the right wines for us to taste (we’re not well versed on wines so this was super helpful) and was just generally a lovely person to chat to. Staff clearly really care about you having a great experience which makes for such a wonderful afternoon. Couldn’t...
