Nice flavor, fresh and easy to drink. — 3 years ago
Very pleasent Aussie blend, rich and velvety, ripe blackcurrent, but young, fresh and balanced. OK, some would say it’s a crowd pleaser, but I am part of that crowd. Cheers! — 5 years ago

One of my favorite ever wines. Found another 1998 on Langtons. Did not disappoint, still showing sweet Coonawarra fruit and earthy dusty tannins. So enjoyed it! — 8 months ago
An excellent modern rendition of Margaret River Chardonnay. Oak is there but not overpowering blending nicely with the stone fruit. Robert And Sandy Oatley became billionaires when they sold Rosemount to Southcorp (Penfolds and Lindemans) and since then Rosemount hardly exists 😟😟. Anyway this is their new venture on a much smaller scale. Bob Oatley died in 2016 aged 87. Apart from Wine the Oatleys have a huge legacy with ocean yacht racing with “Wild Oats” winning 8 Sydney to Hobart line honours. — 5 years ago
Pale Lemon in colour. Some initial caramel notes, light fruited and light weight from the cool climate Orange district. On the palate under ripe nectarine with grapefruit notes - quite a delicate Chardonnay with light acids. Has Medium intensity for Its light palate weight. Philip Shaw has quite the CV as a winemaker. From Chief Winemaker at the huge Lindemans, headhunted by the Oatleys to be Chief Winemaker at Rosemount which became a world wide brand before being sold to Southcorp (now Treasury) for a fortune to the Oatleys, and a stint with Treasury all the while developing his vineyard at Orange now run by his sons and he has gone on to his next venture. He has collected International Winemaker of the Year twice in 1988 and 2000. — 3 years ago
So delicious all by itself — 5 years ago
Surprisingly tight on initial pour. Opened up significantly over the first 2 hours to show dark fruit, pepper, vanilla and spice. Nothing particularly funky or meaty. Drinking amazingly well. — 5 years ago
