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.
