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.

Admittedly, 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.
