ROBERT OATLEY SIGNATURE SERIES: The Robert Oatley Signature Series draws on a remarkable portfolio of vineyards nurtured by the winemaking talent of Larry Cherubino showcasing Australia’s most successful wine styles and regions. Bob Oatley’s mantra was that all wines should be a “darned good drink”, and the high quality Signature Series delivers immediate appeal, with satisfying flavours over an elegant frame. Each wine embodies the grape varietal and region in which it was grown.
REGION NOTES: We’ve been a fan of McLaren Vale Shiraz for many years now, yet have been keen to progress the traditional style, to wines with brighter fruit, less obvious alcohol and minimal reliance on oak. We’ve made a very accessible, well-loved style that has proven a hit with fans of the variety.
WINEMAKING NOTES: This is a blend of selected parcels of Shiraz from the Blewitt Springs, Willunga, and McLaren Flats districts of the Vale. The 2021 McLaren Vale vintage was simply outstanding. Good winter and early spring rains were followed by a generally dry and temperate growing season. Good conditions at flowering throughout the growing season, resulted in high berry numbers per bunch & thus slightly above average yields. Slow and steady ripening, resulted in superb varietal fruit intensity with balanced natural acidity and fine tannin structures. Fermented on skins in a combination of open and closed fermenters and matured in French oak for 12 months. We are pleased with how the oak has paired with the ripe, juicy fruit flavours.
TASTING NOTE: Soft, fleshy-textured Shiraz displaying blueberries and spice, supple tannins and stylish French oak influence.
