Intro to Rolleston Vale Chardonnay –
Rolleston Vale Chardonnay is a vibrant fresh white from South Australia. It has light tropical fruit notes of peach, melon and mango that is rounded due to light oak aging.
Full tasting note and wine-making –
Rolleston Vale Chardonnay is a great example of the new wave of Australian Chardonnay. It is a suppertime sipper full of fresh pineapple and fig flavours and not a trace of heavy-handed oak in sight. The fermentation took place partially in tanks and oak barrels. As a result the oak to plays a supporting role without overpowering the delicate fruit character.
The fruit for this wine was grown in the Central Ranges that contain some of the higher, cooler vineyard sites in the state. This is an important, recently designated wine-growing zone. It is sometimes better known for the regions it comprises: running north to south along the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range (and in descending order of size): Mudgee, Orange and Cowra.
The Producer –
Robert Oatley Vineyards is the latest venture of the Oatley family winemaking dynasty, which was founded by the late industry legend Bob Oatley. His legacy continues in his eldest son Sandy, who worked alongside his father for many years and manages the business today.
Created in 2006, Robert Oatley Vineyards aims to embody the best that Australia can produce. Classic grape varieties are matched to the leading wine regions of Australia. Along with grapes from the family properties, some dating back to 1858, the Oatley family draw upon select growers of excellence across a diverse range of climatic regions. The team has a deep understanding of viticulture and thus they can identify the best vineyard sites in Australia. The talented winemaking team is led by Larry Cherubino, one of Australia’s most awarded winemakers.
