I was driving through Rutherglen when I had the thought to buy dad a bottle of port because apparently that area is famous fortified wine country. Went to the top winery google suggested but they didn't have any, but the guy there pointed me towards another winery up a back road and I ended up getting a lesson and impromptu tastings from the very friendly lady there at Chambers Rosewood Vineyards. Turns out fortified wines are pretty nice!

Can personally vouch that the wineries there are good.
