About Robert Oatley Vineyards:
The now five year old Robert Oatley Vineyards marks Bob Oatley’s return to the winemaking business. The company began in 2006, evolving from four of the family’s existing vineyard sites in Mudgee NSW – properties that had been retained since the sale of Rosemount Estate, augmented with the Montrose Winery and 150 year-old Craigmoor property in late 2006 and more recently the Oatley-established Cumbandry Vineyard near Gulgong. Bob Oatley’s homestead and home-block vineyard in Mudgee adjoin the historic Montrose property, comprising a superb vineyard and the region’s largest winery, which was purchased to serve as the family’s winemaking headquarters.The wines are made, bottled and distributed by Robert Oatley Vineyards within Australia, the United States and Canada. Along with a number of valued family members, including elder son Andrew (Sandy) who heads the business, Bob Oatley has augmented his trusted, highly experienced team with a carefully selected mix of new experts, combining experience, knowledge, innovation and enthusiasm to realise the long-term vision for Robert Oatley Vineyards.
