Pocket Watch Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

The Pocketwatch wines pay tribute to Bob Oatleys great great grandfather James Oatley (1770-1839).

One of Australia’s early convict settlers, James was a master watch and clockmaker who was soon pardoned by Governer Macquarie, appointed Keeper of the Sydney Town Hall Clock and commissioned to install the still functioning turret clock in the pediment of the Hyde Park Barracks.

As part of his remuneration he received a number of land grants from Governor Brisbane, including a 300-acre lot that is now the southern Sydney suburb of Oatley.

This wine continues the Oatley family history of fine craftsmanship. In selecting a number of perfectly ripened parcels of grapes from their vineyards in the Central Ranges of NSW, and with quality French oak influence, the winemakers have created a layered, flavoursome and smooth red wine with bright ripe cherry, blackcurrant and leafy notes. With generous ‘forest fruits’ and ripe red berries to the fore and soft tannins, this delicious wine leaves you wanting for more.
