Robert Oatley Limited Release Cabernet 2018 x 6
Product Description
Traditionally, we focus upon McLaren Vale for Shiraz and Margaret River for
Cabernet Sauvignon as we believe them to be exemplary regions for each variety.
That said, it must be acknowledged that the Barossa is Australia’s best known wine
region and amongst our nation’s greatest regions for both varieties. Winemaker
Larry Cherubino has identified some outstanding parcels of fruit for two special
Limited Release wines designed to highlight Australia’s most successful red
varieties with two exceptionally age-worthy examples.
