CHAMBERS ROSEWOOD Rutherglen Grand Muscat, Chambers NV Grape Varieties 100% Muscat Awards and Press: "Dark brownish orange. Lively macerated raisin flavours with a hint of Fisherman's Friend (original flavour). Dry finish. Well-made and well matured. Very persistent with a whiff of rose petals." - Jancis Robinson, Financial Times Magazine, 18th December 2011 Food Matching Note: Savour a small glass by itself in place of dessert, with coffee or enjoy with rich cakes. Beautiful accompaniment to fresh soft cheeses such as Brie, dried fruits and nuts. Tasting Note: Offering a delightfully intense combination of smoky fruit and spice flavours, this wine has a sweet, lingering finish. Layers of texture and flavour lift this wine to new heights of richness, complexity and intensity of flavour in which youthful fruit characters combine with the increased wood derived aged characters. Vinification Note: The grapes are harvested at high baumé (17 Bé plus preferred). These grapes are then de-stemmed with the resultant must placed into tank. The must is then inoculated with yeast and a partial fermentation of the juice is undertaken (usually 2 to 3 Bé depending upon initial fruit ripeness). Once this level of fermentation is complete the must is placed into the press for juice extraction. The fermenting juice obtained from the pressing is fortified with neutral grape spirit (~ 96% alc.) to 18% alc. to arrest the fermentation. The resultant wine is then aged in various old oak barrels of between 500-4500 lts volume. Find this wine at www.winestore.co.uk Price: £37.14 (Including VAT at 20%)
