Margaret River, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
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.

Aug 6th, 2018Powerful and expressive on the nose with bursting apple, orchard fruit and fresh grated nutmeg. + acid showing its youth. Hitting all the spots on the tongue with firm apricot and a bit of cream. Finish is long and clean and harmonious.

Mar 7th, 2018Admittedly, drinking this out of a tumbler in a hotel room in tropical conditions may not do it justice. Understated nose but plenty of stone fruit flavour on the palate with a stroke of nectarine through the middle and a bit of nuttiness. Decent enough.

May 18th, 2015Another exceptional wine made by Larry Cherubino. 13% alcohol, layers of restrained flavours and well structured. Underlying pineapple, citrus and barley sugar. Paired with roast chicken and potatoes with bread sauce.
