Robert Oatley is an Admiral’s Cup winner, British Empire Medal holder, commodities trader turned cattle rancher and, for decades, owner of the renowned Rosemount winery. These days his top rated (5 red Halliday stars) family cellar offers wines, like this fabulous ocean cooled Margaret River Chardonnay, under his eponymous label. Last vintage this wine scored 94 Halliday points. West Oz Larry Cherubino is the very talented winemaker who picked out some great parcels of Margaret River grapes from Karridale to Wilyabrup. He aged the wine briefly in oak, 20% new, to lend gentle toasty notes, but wanted to retain the wine’s crisp, bright fruit character. Serve just cool in large bowled glasses with creamy sauced white meats or salmon en croûte.
