Join Stephen Chambers from The Winemakers of Rutherglen at this masterclass exploring the iconic sweet wine Rutherglen Muscat.

Event details

With over 150 years of aged reserve stocks, multi-generational blending secrets and a distinctive combination of climate and soils, Muscat of Rutherglen has become a world-recognised and critically acclaimed wine style - impossible to replicate anywhere else in the world and unique to Rutherglen Australia.

At this extra-special masterclass, sixth generation winemaker Stephen Chambers of Chambers Rosewood Vineyards will guide you through a comparative tasting of 16 Muscats by four of the 16 Rutherglen producers. You will explore the Rutherglen, Classic, Grand and Rare classifications which indicate the age, richness, complexity, and intensity of the wines. You’ll also have the opportunity to get to know the individual producer’s style, gaining insight into the winery’s family story and winemaking history along the way.

About the presenter, Stephen Chambers

Stephen Chambers

Stephen is the sixth generation winemaker of the legendary Chambers family that operates Rosewood Winery.

He started to help his father, Bill Chambers, from an early age 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.

Chambers Rosewood is one the oldest wineries of Rutherglen (est. 1858) with the fortified offering being some of the best in the world - their approachability and relaxed attitude makes a tasting experience a pleasure.

Stephen is the custodian for soleras dating back to the 1890s and is solidifying Chambers Rosewood’s place on the international stage as an award-winning producer of Muscat and Muscadelle (Topaque).
