Robert Oatley Signature Riesling 2025

Lemon Citrus | Line and Length | Dry

Drawn from select parcels across Great Southern’s leading Riesling sites in Frankland River, Porongurup and Mount Barker, this 2025 release shows exactly why the vintage is being talked about as one of the greats for WA Riesling. Crisp, dry and finely etched, it is all about lemon citrus, tight acidity and mineral drive, with just enough fruit intensity to make it seriously drinkable now and poised to evolve beautifully in the cellar.

Made from free run juice and fermented with neutral yeast for maximum purity, this sits right in the sweet spot between precision and pleasure.

Awards and Accolades 🏆

93 Points – Ray Jordan
Ray highlights 2025 as a standout year for Riesling and calls this wine superb, with dominant lemon citrus, spice and a touch of zestiness that lifts both nose and palate. He praises its balance, intensity and the tight line of acidity that drives a long, defined finish.

Tasting Notes 🍋

Colour
Pale straw with green tinges and excellent brightness.
Aromatics
Lemon zest and lime pith with white blossom, a hint of citrus spice and subtle crushed stone minerality.
Palate
Dry, precise and focused. Juicy lemon and lime are layered with green apple and a light saline, slate like character. There is real intensity through the mid palate, carried by a tight, racy line of acidity that gives the wine energy and drive.
Finish
Long, linear and refreshing, with lingering citrus, spice and mineral notes that echo after each sip.

Winemaker’s Note

The Signature Series Riesling is crafted to express both variety and region with clarity. Parcels from Great Southern’s key subregions are handled gently, using only free run juice and a neutral yeast strain, to capture pristine citrus flavour and a fine, chalky acid profile. Oak is avoided entirely to keep the style crisp, dry and focused.

FAQ 🧐

Is it dry or off dry?
It is a crisp, dry style with bright acidity and citrus fruit, so it feels refreshing rather than sweet.

How does it compare to Clare or Eden Valley Riesling?
Great Southern Riesling tends to sit closer to a classic lime and lemon profile, with a slightly softer, talc like texture and a subtle saline, mineral edge, rather than the sometimes more piercing line of some South Australian styles.

Do I need to decant it?
Not essential, but pouring it into a jug or carafe and giving it a few minutes in the glass will help the citrus and floral notes to open up.

A pure, finely etched Great Southern Riesling from a standout vintage, with all the lemon citrus, line and length you want and plenty of class for the price. 🍋

Robert Oatley Wines

Robert Oatley Wines is a celebrated name in Australian winemaking, revered for crafting premium wines that showcase the unique characteristics of Western Australia’s renowned wine regions. With a focus on Margaret River and Frankland River, the family-owned winery has built a legacy of excellence underpinned by meticulous craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and a passion for quality.

A Family Legacy of Excellence

Founded in 2006 by the late Robert (Bob) Oatley AO, the winery draws on decades of winemaking expertise. Bob Oatley’s contributions to Australian wine began in the 1960s, and his family has carried this legacy forward with a commitment to producing wines that reflect the best of their regions. Today, the winery is led by Sandy Oatley and a talented team, including award-winning winemaker Larry Cherubino, whose deep understanding of terroir-driven winemaking ensures that each bottle is a true reflection of place.

Margaret River: A Maritime Gem

Margaret River, located along Western Australia’s pristine coastline, is one of the country’s premier wine regions. Often likened to Bordeaux for its maritime climate, Margaret River enjoys a long growing season, moderated by cooling breezes from the Indian Ocean. This results in grapes with optimal ripeness, vibrant acidity, and fine balance.

Robert Oatley’s wines from Margaret River, particularly their cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, are exemplary. Their cabernet sauvignon, a regional hallmark, boasts classic blackcurrant, cassis, and fine tannins, making it a standout on the global stage. Chardonnay, another regional speciality, shines with its balance of citrus brightness and subtle oak integration. Wines like The Pennant and Signature Series are celebrated for their elegance, depth, and capacity to age beautifully.

Frankland River: A Showcase of Structure and Finesse

Frankland River, part of the broader Great Southern region, offers a cooler, more temperate climate than Margaret River. This climate, combined with gravelly soils, is ideal for varieties like cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, and riesling. The diurnal temperature shifts allow grapes to ripen slowly, developing concentration and complexity while retaining freshness.

Robert Oatley’s wines from Frankland River are a testament to the region’s potential. Grapes are sourced from exceptional sites, including the historic Justin Vineyard, home to 50-year-old vines. These low-yielding vines produce fruit with remarkable intensity, resulting in wines like The Pennant Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted using traditional techniques such as hand-picking, extended maceration, and up to 22 months of ageing in French oak, these wines are lauded for their soft tannins, depth, and tremendous length. With only six barrels produced in some vintages, they are as rare as they are exquisite.

A Commitment to Craft and Sustainability

Robert Oatley Wines is deeply committed to sustainable viticulture, ensuring that the vineyards are cared for with minimal environmental impact. This focus on sustainability preserves the health of the vines and soil, safeguarding their ability to produce exceptional wines for future generations.

The winery’s dedication to quality extends to every stage of production. From berry-by-berry sorting to rigorous barrel selection, each step reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Robert Oatley’s approach. This has earned the winery a host of accolades, including consistent high scores from The Real Review and Halliday Wine Companion.

Celebrating Regional Excellence

The dual focus on Margaret River and Frankland River allows Robert Oatley Wines to celebrate the diversity of Western Australia’s terroirs. While Margaret River contributes richness and vibrancy, Frankland River offers structure and finesse. Together, they create a portfolio that honours the region’s potential and the Oatley family’s enduring legacy.

Robert Oatley’s wines are a testament to the art of Australian winemaking. Whether it’s the classic cabernet sauvignon from Margaret River or the poised elegance of a Frankland River shiraz, each bottle invites wine lovers to explore the best of Western Australia.
