Margaret River is widely respected for its European-style wines. This cooler-climate Australian region is perfect for Chardonnay grapes. Here, they mature slowly on the vine, making for complex and elegant Chardonnay that's celebrated worldwide. This is your chance to taste what the fuss is about at a lower price. It's rich and toasty, with notes of lemon, peach, vanilla, butter and cream that are best with salmon.
ROBERT OATLEY SIGNATURE SERIES
The Robert Oatley Signature Series draws on a remarkable portfolio of vineyards nurtured by the winemaking talent of Larry Cherubino showcasing Australia’s most successful wine styles and regions. Bob Oatley’s mantra was that all wines should be a “darned good drink”, and the high quality Signature Series delivers immediate appeal, with satisfying flavours over an elegant frame. Each wine embodies the grape varietal and region in which it was grown.
Premium parcels of grapes were specially selected from a range of sites across the Margaret River region, from Karridale in the south through to Wilyabrup in the north, to create a well balanced, medium weight style in the citrus mould. Matured for a short time in a variety of French oak barriques, twenty per cent new. We deliberately avoided the traditional secondary malolactic fermentation in order to retain the wine’s long fine acidity. Enjoy now to 2024.
