Individual vintages and vineyards are kept as separate wines until blending. Classic Category. It has taken over 10 years for us to build up the stock and manage the solera. The Old Vine Muscat initially was blend of 2001 and 2007 vintages. Wines of good to very good quality are selected for the Old Vine Muscat.
The wine is bottled on demand to ensure the best product possible.
Palate of rose petals, fruit cake and raisons, fresh and lively with youthful primary fruit characters evident. Well balanced palate which is clean and fresh with a drying finish.

Winemaker's Bio
Stephen Chambers - 6th Generation Winemaker
As part of a six generational wine business, Stephen started to help his father, Bill Chambers, from an early age and throughout his schooling, whether it was in the cellar door, winery, vineyard or the farm.
After studying Oenology at Adelaide University, he spent some time in the Barossa Valley, Bordeaux and
Great Southern WA, gaining experience.
Returning to Rutherglen in 2000, Stephen set about to
maintain the high quality fortified wines being produced, as well as improving the consistency of the table wine offerings.
Stephen has created great rapport with International and National trade and has kept the traditional winemaking processes alive.
