Our Pocketwatch wines pay tribute to Bob Oatley’s great great grandfather James Oatley (1770-1839).
One of Australia’s early convict settlers, James was a master watch and clockmaker who was soon pardoned by Governor Macquarie, appointed Keeper of the Sydney Town Hall Clock and commissioned to install the still functioning turret clock in the pediment of the Hyde Park Barracks.
As part of his remuneration he received a number of land grants from Governor Brisbane, including a 300-acre lot that is now the southern Sydney suburb of Oatley.
This wine continues the Oatley family history of fine craftsmanship. Blending a number of parcels of grapes from their vineyards in the Central Ranges of NSW with various components undergoing a combination of tank and oak ferment the winemakers have created a terrific example of modern Australian chardonnay, where fruit and texture are the vital components, with oak playing a supporting role. Lovely pineapple and fresh fig flavours, creamy, spicy oak with a touch of vanilla and a long, textured finish.
