The Oatleys have played an important role in the growth of the Australian wine industry and it's export markets, ever since their first vintage as owner operators of Rosemount Estate in 1974. Today, the Oatleys believe that Mudgee has an excellent, somewhat untapped potential for Chardonnay. Various winemaking regimes are employed to produce a complex yet fruit driven style. Chardonnay is harvested from Oatley vineyards at Woodbrook and Craigmoor, with further components from Wooloomooloo and Chardonnay Park. Parcels are treated to a mix of fermenters and older French oak. A portion completes malolactic to contribute texture and complexity.
