Robert Oatley Signature Series Shiraz 2020 (6 Bottles) Yarra Valley

$159.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Soft, fleshy-textured Shiraz displaying blueberries and spice, supple tannins and stylish French oak influence.

This is a blend of selected parcels of Shiraz from the Blewitt Springs, Willunga, and McLaren Flats districts of the Vale. Warm & dry spring & summer months, meant the 2020 vintage was disease free with yields lower than previous years. Then a long cool ripening period at harvest was beneficial to grape quality, delivering great natural acidity, fantastic colour and flavour; with Shiraz being a particular regional highlight. 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. Enjoy now to 2030.

About Robert Oatley Wines

Robert Oatley Wines was founded as a family winery in 2006 by the late Robert (Bob) Oatley AO BEM. Today the family business www.balmoralaustralia.com is led by Bob’s eldest son Sandy Oatley who, together with his father, brother and sister, planted the first Oatley family vineyards in the late 1960’s.

Robert Oatley Wines celebrates the memory of Bob Oatley through a trio of labels: the maritime-influenced Signature Series, the specific vineyard focused Finisterre, and the best of the best barrels under The Pennant. Focussing on wines from Margaret River and McLaren Vale that consistently score over 90 points with the critics and having collected too many medals to detail, a number of the wines have been or are trophy winners but most importantly they’ve resonated with the wine-loving public around Australia and the world. As Bob Oatley said ‘they must be a darned good drink.’
