The Robert Oatley wine collection is backed by over fifty years of winemaking history from one of the most successful Australian wine families. Named after the family patriarch, Robert Oatley Wines is a multi-generational passion. The family owns vineyards, and sources from long-term grower partners, across Australia’s key regions – with a prime focus on Margaret River in Western Australia and McLaren Vale in South Australia. The wines are crafted by awarded winemaker, Larry Cherubino.
From Margaret River, Cherubino homes in on the texture and purity of Chardonnay and Cabernet particularly from the southern sites for the Chardonnays and Wilyabrup for the Cabernets. From McLaren Vale in South Australia, the bright notes and rich flavors of both Grenache and Syrah are indisputable. The Oatleys were the first Australian winemakers to use the term ‘GSM’ for their classic Rhone blend of Grenache, Shiraz, Mouvedre. They have a long history of working with the best of McLaren Vale fruit, with particular focus on Blewitt Springs, the Willunga area of southern McLaren Vale.
The Robert Oatley portfolio of wines are crafted to be effortlessly elegant and balanced, offering immediate appeal, delicious and satisfying flavors, over an elegant frame.
