(pronounced Shom-bor-san)

Chambourcin is a vigorous red grape variety developed from a complex parentage of at least eight American species of Vitus and many varieties of European grapes. It has good resistance to downy and powdery mildew, and also to phylloxera, a serious insect pest which has had catastrophic effects in many parts of the world. The Hastings River region has one of the largest areas of Chambourcin planted in Australia and Bago Vineyards are the largest single producer of Chambourcin in the region. From the Chambourcin grape Bago Vineyards produce a myriad of styles of wine from a light rose, to medium bodied reds, vintage sparkling reds and tawny ports.
