Medium ruby. Expressive typical Pinot Noir nose of small red berries and spicy notes with hints of fruit stones. Medium-bodied at most, the barely tight mid-palate has finely grained tannins that provide some structure to this Burgundy-inspired style wine that also features the ripe intense fruitiness of Australia. Ready to enjoy on grilled salmon.
Offers good varietal Cabernet style with blackcurrant, mulberry, minty eucalyptus and cedary scents on the nose. The same themes play through on the well-balanced, medium weight palate, finishing with a lick of spice and subtle oak.
Robert Oatley founded the winery that bears his name in 2006. To honor the memory of their late father, his children have created a series of Signature wines in his name. Pale straw in colour, the wine offers a spicy oak and ripe pineapple bouquet; it’s medium to full-bodied, slightly creamy on the palate with surprisingly fresh acidity on the finish.
Clear medium yellow with tinges of green. Interesting nose of citrus touched with eucalyptus and menthol. Full-bodied with complex flavours of citrus, gooseberry, grapefruit and passion fruit, tinged with a tiny bit of oak for interest on the long finish. Good value.
This Langhorne Creek red is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Dark and smoothed on the palate, with layers of cedar, pipe tobacco, black cherry, cracked clove and cinnamon. Tannins are softened, but carry an edge that cuts the ripeness. Bottled without filtration, this is a solid red for skirt steak or sausages.
Dense purple in colour with a smoky, cedary nose of blackberries with herbal notes; full-bodied, dry, juicy blackberry flavour with lively acidity and a firm finish.
Dense purple-black in colour showing a bouquet of sandalwood and blackberries; full-bodied with concentrated flavours of black plum with creamy oak and tannins that give the wine structure.
