Robert Oatley Wines

Robert Oatley Wines Margaret River WA & McLaren Vale SA
Award winning West and South Australian wines from the Oatley Family. As Bob Oatley said ‘they must be a darned good drink.’
(801)

Robert Oatley Wines was founded 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.

Second and third generation vintners Sandy & Nicky Oatley are thrilled that Robert Oatley has been ranked among Australia’s Top Wineries by The Real Review every year since the awards began in 2018.
The Top Wineries Certificate recognises wineries that consistently produce outstanding wines. Rankings are determined using a proprietary algorithm that assesses factors including wine scores, recency, availability, value and tasting context over a two-year review period.
All wines are tasted and reviewed blind by The Real Review tasting panel, led by Huon Hooke.
We’re looking forward to sharing some of our top scoring wines at their Melbourne and Sydney tastings in July.

When we're not drinking chardonnay, we love riesling! Celebrating International Riesling Day, today March 13, with Halliday Wine Companion review of our 2025 Signature Series Great Southern, as featured in their latest newsletter: "92 points. ...Very zippy, electric even, mouth-watering and loaded with tart citrus fruit characters. Dashes of green apple, a touch of meringue sweetness, too. It feels easy to get stuck into, in a riesling-101 way. Cellar to 2029" Mike Bennie - Wine/Drinks

"High class stuff"!

🏅 Gold (95 pts) | Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
and
⭐ 97 pts | Ray Jordan, WA Wine Review:
“The intensity and power of Margaret River chardonnay is immediately apparent. The nose opens with slightly toasty, savoury, faintly struck match characters, then the palate releases the awesome power of chardonnay from this region. Fine savoury elements and a touch of chalkiness contribute to a palate that is controlled, powerful and extraordinarily long. This is high-class stuff. 97/100. Cellar 12 years”
