The Finisterre range of wines from Robert Oatley are sourced from the best fruit parcels they have access to. Coming from Margaret River fruit, less than 300 dozen were made with the majority of this allocated to on premise restaurant sales.
Loaded with gooseberry, pea, cut herb and asparagus aromas, there was a suggestion this was a crisp wine. Not so.
A delicious textured palate layered with creamy and soft fruit. Buttery and melon flavours kicked around capped off with a very good length.
If you discover this in a restaurant it is worth getting hold of, but you don't expect to be paying the $32 rrp.
