The Robert Oatley Signature Series Riesling is a crisp and refreshing white wine that showcases the best of Australia's Riesling grape varietal. This lively wine is made from high-quality grapes grown in the cool-climate regions of Western Australia. The palate is driven by flavors of juicy lime and crunchy Granny Smith apple highlighted by an elegant minerality that adds depth and longevity to the wine. The aroma profile is delicate and floral, with a hint of citrusy acidity. This Riesling boasts a clean and refreshing finish that makes it the perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, spicy Asian cuisine, or to enjoy on its own.

Tasting Notes

Softly textured, crisp, dry, lemon-lime fruited wine with a fine line of acidity.

About the Winery

Robert Oatley is a family-owned winery in Australia. Though this brand's history dates back to over 40 years ago, this label was registered as a wine company only in 2006. This company is the result of the winemaking passion of a proud Australian Robert Oatley (1928-2016). After his death, his son, Sandy Oatley, continues to run this winey with the same passion to date. The first vines of this family estate was planted in the 1960s in Australia's premier wine regions of Margaret River and McLaren Vale.

Today, sustainable winemaking techniques are followed in the Oatley's vineyards located in Margaret River and Great Southern (Western Australia) and McLaren Vale (Southern Australia). Here is an overview of these three vineyards where grapes for Robert Oatley wines are cultivated.

Margaret River – Considered as Australia's most important wine-producing area, this place is known for producing the finest quality of Bordeaux grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay grown here is considered to be of the best quality all over Australia.

Great Southern – This region comprises many small districts that have diverse soil qualities. Thanks to the terroir quality and soil richness, this region is known for producing the highest quality of Riesling in Australia. However, this place also grows some scintillating reds.
