The Pocketwatch wines pay tribute to Bob Oatley’s 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 Governor 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 richly flavoured parcels of grapes from their vineyards in the Central Ranges of NSW and with quality French oak influence, the winemakers have created a sumptuous and velvety red wine with complexity and some spicy characteristics. It tastes of berries, plums, baking spices and a touch of mocha on the lasting firm finish.
