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. Multiple award winners, the whole range consistently scores over 90 pts from Australian and international critics.
Finisterre: [Ends of the Earth] - Our constant pursuit of quality finds us among the great viticultural regions of Australia, each offering a unique combination of earth and climate, allowing vines to flourish and produce fruit with great balance. Hand harvesting, fruit sorting and intuitive winemaking delivers wines with clarity, purity, great texture and flavour expression.
Competitive success is rewarded in a myriad of ways. For wine it may be a gold medal, in sport, a pennant. Both indicate excellence. Striving for excellence in wine growing strikes a balance between the natural attributes of the land and uncomplicated winemaking. Sometimes the greatest effort is required to strive for simplicity, with detailed attention in the vineyard, an uncompromising approach to fruit selection, uncomplicated winemaking and naturally, the benefits of a great season. The greatest prize is when this is reflected in the glass. The late Robert Oatley’s prestige range, The Pennant scores highly with the critics. Extremely limited releases.
Showcasing a special selection of wines from our best vineyards, these are hand-made, limited release wines in every sense. Each wine embodies the favoured characteristics of its grape variety and region.
