Thank you for you review. Glad to know that you enjoyed the informal nature of our tasting area and you found that the staff were informative whilst not being pushy
An old fashioned tasting room tended by a very charming lady who couldn't do enough for us. The wine was variable and most were not to my taste however the fortifides were fantastic, I walked away with quite a bit. We were offered tastings on anything we wanted including the Rare Muscadelle which was without doubt the best I have ever tasted, it was based on wine 60 years old. Unfortunately I couldn't afford it at $250 a 375ml bottle but I will always remember it.
I was amazed upon our arrival here just how good the wines were for the price. This no-nonsense winery that focuses on selling great wines at great prices is unbeatable when it comes to value for money.Their extensive range of options means there is something for everyone's tastes. It's a self service tasting set-up also. Friendly, cooperative and accommodating staff top it off.This is one not to miss in Rutherglen.
Thank you for your review. We believe that varieties such as Gouais, Cinsaut (Blue Imperial) and Mondeuse need to be preserved for the future just as some of the wine styles we make need to be.
It was the last winery we visited on a rather damp Sunday afternoon and what a delight it turned out to be. We ended up being the last one's there, and so had Mr Chambers (Snr) all to ourselves. He kept us well and truly entertained as we sipped on this and that, giving us the full run down on Campbell's and Rutherglen. A history lesson and wine tasting all in one. Their wines are well priced and of excellent quality, truly representative of the area.My favourite was their muscat. Will definitely be visiting again when next in the area.
Loved the chance to pour our own tastings! Great wines too. We went home with 2 or 3 bottles! Very casual and relaxing atmosphere.
Thanks for mentioning Bill in your review. You are quite correct he is quite a character. Now days he tends to man the cellar door on Sundays and will occasionally pop in at other times. You are also quite correct in mentioning a wide range of quirky wines which can be just as much a curio value as good quality.
Chambers are one of the few still doing high quality fortified wines (ports, muscats etc) and also have a wide array of very good, very affordable wines, red, white and rose. One of the older wineries. Been many times, never disappointed, everything on tasting, not pretentious just know what they are doing.
We recently styed at Rutherglen for 2 days and one of the highlights was our visit to Chambers Winery. it was a great old style winery full of history and we imagined just like tho "Old Style "winery. the wines ,especially the fortified ones were sensational. They had a great buy on a clean skin Red and I was glad I had my car, I would defiantly recommend a visit there, for not only the wine ,ambiance but also the friendly service, something some of the other wineries in Rutherglen lacked.
Chambers make some unique wines, full of flavour. We have ordered it for years and visited the winery itself to taste the range of what they produce. It is a low key, low pressure cellar door with resident friendly dog that chummed up with ours as we tried the wines and chatted to Chambers family members. Cleanskins are very good value. We really enjoy the aromatic riesling and powerful roussanne. We also bought their gouais, which is the ancient parent grape of many other varieties and we bought The Family, a tasty white blend. Chambers are renowned for their fortifieds. The winery is on the outskirts of Rutherglen.
