Chambers Rosewood Rutherglen Muscat
From £16.95
Why Mark chose this
The Chambers family have been making wine in Rutherglen since 1858, and their Muscat is the sort of thing that reminds you why old family estates matter. Rich, sticky and intensely grapey, with raisins, orange peel and a warmth that lingers. Serve it cold in small glasses and it is one of the most pleasurable pudding wines you can find at anywhere near this price.

Tasting Notes
As the sixth generation of the Chambers family to make wine at the Rosewood winery, Stephen took over the winemaking in 2001. This venerable winery, started in 1858 by William Chambers, is one of the most fabled in Rutherglen. A charming, north-eastern Victorian town, the sort of place that time forgot, Rutherglen still speaks of the gold rush that led to its foundation, and the development of the wine industry in the 1850s. The Rutherglen Muscat is typically tawny red in colour with aromas of rose petals, raisins and dried fruit. These characters carry through to the palate, balanced with fresh acidity. The wine is unctuous and rich yet zesty and balanced.
