Introduction

got an invite to the Oatley trade tasting...too good to miss out on the opportunity

Flight 2 (8 Notes)

  • 2022 Robert Oatley Riesling Signature Series

    Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Great Southern

    Sponti, green apple, citrus; touch of orange. Tangy, medium plus intensity acidity, more green apple on the palate, it's quite sharp, oddly a little alcohol warmth on the finish. Bone dry.

  • 2022 Soumah Chardonnay Single Vineyard Equilibrio

    Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley

    Very slightly reductive note, butter, a little toast, citrus, over stone fruit. Juicy, tangy, tightly textured, a little fruit lozenge, citrus style, touch of wood burr and, with time, a little peach. <shrugs>

  • 2021 The Lane Vineyard Chardonnay Heritage RG

    Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills

    Quite citric underpin shows lime and lemon under plenty of smoked bacon fat, a little butter. Juicy, oddly quite buttery on the palate, fruit less citrus and also a little muted, tangy burr, leesy texture.

  • 2021 Willunga 100 Grenache Trott Vineyard Blewitt Springs

    Funky wild ferment, red berry fruit; savoury, strawberry perhaps a little green herbaceous note. Juicy, grippy though silky textured persistent tannins fruit slightly muted, red berry fruit, again a little slightly green note here, tiny smidge of unripeness.

  • 2020 Hentley Farm Shiraz Clos Otto

    Australia, South Australia, Barossa, Barossa Valley

    Ripely generous black hued fruits, sweet spice, polished oak, vanilla, caramel. Juicy, concentrated dark hued fruits, plain chocolate, polished oak, all are out of whack for me, finishes a little bitter but needs time.
