The Society's Exhibition Margaret River Chardonnay 2025
White Wine from Australia - Western Australia
Maritime-influenced Margaret River is renowned for chardonnay of purity and texture, combining southern hemisphere generosity with freshness and real depth of flavour. Made for us by acclaimed winemaker Larry Cherubino at Robert Oatley, this is a beautifully assured expression of the style. The nose balances ripe peach with citrus zest, subtle toast, vanilla pod and a gently savoury edge. On the palate it is focused and precise yet generously flavoured, with bright acidity cutting through the richness to give tension and drive. There’s real complexity here, the fruit and oak perfectly measured, finishing long, clean and highly appetising. A classic Western Australian chardonnay that manages to be both rich and refreshing, and above all, thoroughly delicious.

Robert Oatley Vineyards
Entrepreneur Robert Oatley, who passed away in 2016, was no stranger to building an iconic Australian wine business, having been the founding father of the famous Rosemount Estate in the Hunter Valley. In the 1950s and 1960s he made his fortune in coffee and cocoa, and built up a portfolio of businesses ranging from cattle ranches to vineyards, not to mention a love of racing yachts that saw him underwrite Australia’s bid for glory in the 2016 America’s Cup race!
In 2002 he sold Rosemount and decided to step away from the wine business. It hardly took him a year before he was involved once more when he established Robert Oatley Vineyards with properties around Australia.
The business is based at Mudgee in New South Wales but includes projects in Western Australia, McLaren Vale and Yarra Valley. Overseeing this group is acclaimed winemaker Larry Cherubino, heading a hand-picked team of viticulturists and winemakers, all of whom have been provided with state-of-the-art equipment by Robert Oatley. The emphasis for such a wide-ranging enterprise is very much hands-on and sustainable, with intervention kept to a minimum. The emphasis here is on quality and varietal expression.
