Vineyards

Chris Hancock, Bob Oatley (founder, died in 2016), and Sandy Oatley his son, walk side by side up a wide avenue between rows of vines

Australia’s specialist grape growing families are the backbone of the wine industry. Along with grapes from their own properties, dating back to 1858, the Oatleys draw upon select growers of excellence across a diverse range of climatic regions, working in long term partnerships.
