Incredibly, this amazing vintage fortified was only released at eighteen years old, despite being bottled back in 2006. Sheesh. It's a powerhouse wine that is just starting to enter the drinking window with dried fig, chocolate and lusciousness for days but held back by some proper tannins and power. A fortified bargain!

Described as ‘nothing less than national treasures’ and ‘some of the world’s most remarkable dessert wines’, the fortified wines from Chambers Rosewood have consistently earned international acclaim, with Bill Chambers named the undisputed king of the fortified wine business. Stephen, Bill’s son, is the sixth generation of his family to make wine at Rosewood. Nestled in the heart of Rutherglen, Chambers Winery and Vineyards was established in 1858 by William Chambers who emigrated to Australia from Norfolk after a disagreement with his employer. William leased a plot of land, planted vines and a rose hedge around the boundary and named the property Rosewood. Since those early days, the Chambers family have been custodians of their land, acknowledging their heritage and upholding age-old winemaking processes, whilst protecting the rich, fertile soil on which they are privileged to sit. They use both traditional and modern methods of wine production to respect and balance nature and biodiversity, and use wooden barrels, some dating back to the 1800s, to age and refine their premium wines.
