Winery & Vintage Info
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.
All three of these grape varieties share a long history in McLaren Vale – Australia’s most successful region with this triple blend emulating the wines of Cotes du Rhone. The warm, maritime-influenced climate and red-brown loamy soils produce rich dark fruit characters and supple tannins in their exemplary red wines.
The 2019 release of Robert Oatley' Signature Series GSM is made up from a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre (Mataro) from southern McLaren Vale, where the hills run down to the ocean. Fermented on skins in a combination of open and closed fermenters and matured in French oak for 6 months. Enjoy now to 2028. Winery Notes
