  Walkabout - Rutherglen
Rutherglen was declared a shire in 1871 and, despite the post-goldrush struggle, the town proved viable.
When Rutherglen High School opened in 1962 the building was threatened with demolition but was preserved owing to the efforts of the local historical society which set up a local history museum display in the front room with a Victorian schoolroom recreated in another.
The Tastes of Rutherglen Gourmet Getaway unfolds over ten days at the district's wineries in March, the Winery Walkabout is held on the Queen's Birthday weekend in June at the local wineries and in Rutherglen's main street.

He is a big tokay fan, and he told me that the age of the blend can be identified by color: 2 to 5 years old, on average, amber; 5 to 12, bronze; 13 to 20, maroon; 20 or more, olive-green highlights.
The desserts were even better: an eggy bread-and-butter pudding made with Rutherglen quinces poached in Rutherglen muscat, whose aroma filled the room as it cooked, and sticky fig and apple pudding made with sticky tokay.

 Old Bridge Cellars - Chambers Winery - Australian Wines - Rutherglen, Australia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
One of Australia's leading palates - Bill Chambers, the current Chief Winemaker, was Chairman of Judges at one of Australia's most prestigious wine competitions, The Royal Melbourne for over a decade - it's his exceptional tasting ability that ensures the high quality and consistency of the blends.
Chambers has stocks over a century old that are used to add complexity and depth to their wines - it is almost unique in Australia for a winery to have access to such aged material.
A totally unique style - there is nowhere else in the world that produces a style like the Rutherglen Muscats and Muscadelles (tokays) - the process of fortifying the partially fermented wine and then aging for decades in old oak barrels results in a concentrated, powerful wine that is not cloying and has amazing balance.

The Rutherglen region of North-Eastern Victoria was founded, as was much of this country, on the back of the gold mining boom of the mid nineteenth century.
The resilience of the local vignerons and the sheer quality of the wines enabled the region to survive and today Rutherglen is Australia’s most vibrant fortified wine centre.
The combination of hot summer days, cool nights and long, dry autumns are ideal for producing the incredibly ripe fruit perfect for Liqueur Muscat and Tokay.

We are one of very few wineries in Australia that actually makes our own Methode Champenoise wines entirely by ourselves, and entirely in our own premises, from the time the grapes are crushed, to the time that the bottle is sold to the customer.
Thus we have very simple, but elegant, labels; and we have put all our earnings back into better equipment, and into more vineyard establishment and maintenance, so that our wine will improve even more - unfortunately that means that landscaping will have to wait until we have excess money, time, and energy.
We are an extremely small family winery, situated a mere 1 kilometre from Rutherglen (North East Victoria) on the Chiltern Road.

 Epinions.com - G'day! How about a nice SHIRAZ, Mate?!
In Australia, the greater part of the wine industry is concentrated in the South and South-East coastal area; e.g., the Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, and Eden Valley.
Most of inland Australia is a giant desert and more than 90% of Australia's population is concentrated in a few large coastal cities (e.g., Sydney, Perth, Melbourne).
Australian wine producers now have increased acreage under vine, they are utilizing modern viticultural technologies that allow them to bring forth product at a lower per-barrel cost, and they are cashed up and budgeting a generous portion of their marketing dollars on penetrating foreign markets.

Although we think of the Australian wine industry as a relatively new phenomenon, vines have been cultivated in parts of the country, especially in South Australia, since the eighteenth century.
To drive that point home, for this special Beard event we are pairing some of Australia’s best wines with the globally inspired cuisine of New York chef Anita Lo.
