Over the course of some 150 years, the Mudgee region has grown to specialise in full-bodied dry red varietals such as those of the Bordeaux family, which have thrived in the region’s sunny high altitude climate.
The Oatley family have a number of Merlot blocks across their local vineyards and whilst the resultant wines generally are blended with Cabernet, occasionally there are parcels so good they deserve to be presented on their own.
Bold, defined and rich, Wild Oats Merlot is well balanced with red fruit and plum characters.
Harvested at ideal ripeness in the cool of the early morning and fermented on skins to extract maximum colour, texture and tannin. Displays merlot’s typical plump, round flavour profile, with definitive red fruit and plum characters, soft velvety tannins and a pleasing finish. Enjoy with a range of red meat dishes now to five years of age.
About Wild Oats
As a feisty young sailor, Bob Oatley was given the nickname ‘Wild Oats’. It is now the memorable name of the family’s most popular wine range and their incredibly successful yacht Wild Oats XI – the record breaking winner of Australia’s own bluewater classic: the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
Renamed in August 2015, Oatley Fine Wine Merchants is the Oatley family’s Australian wine distribution business.
Oatley Fine Wine Merchants is focused on becoming a leading independent premium wine merchant recognised for the quality of the wines we offer and for the services we provide to our customers. We are committed to offering the flexibility of representation that meets your venue’s specific needs.
