presented a selection of wines from
Robert Oatley Vineyards, Australia

Helmsman Sauvignon Blanc 2015, Western Australia
Lively, juicy, tropical fruit, lime and grassy notes ensure this is a typical Sauvignon Blanc.

Helmsman Pinot Grigio 2015, Central Ranges
Typically fresh and fruity, with soft acidity and a mouthwatering finish.

Helmsman Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2014, Central Ranges
The winemaker's art of blending comes to the fore here, with the two key red Bordeaux varieties, Merlot (75%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) combining to deliver generous red fruits, rounded tannins and a pleasing finish.

Wild Oats Chardonnay 2015, Western Australia
Full-bodied yet crisp, with citrus and melon fruit flavours.

Wild Oats Shiraz 2014, Western Australia
A supple, rounded Shiraz with appealing plummy fruits and a touch of spice.

Hancock and Hancock Cabernet Sauvignon/Touriga 2014, McLaren Vale
80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Touriga, 7% Shiraz, 4% Malbec
Blackcurrant and crushed leaf flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon mixed with perfume of violets from savoury Touriga create unique, satisfying red.

Signature Riesling 2013, Great Southern
Softly textured, crisp, dry, lemon-lime fruited wine with a fine line of acidity.

Signature Pinot Noir 2014, Yarra Valley
Lovely varietal intensity with the wild strawberry and cherry, lightly savoury spectrum, vibrant and juicy, with gentle French oak influence.
