Oatley Fraîcheur Barrel Matured 2023 (6 Bottles) Bridgwater, Somerset, England

£114.00

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Floral aromas with ripe peach, mango and a touch of oak on the palate.

This wine is our Jane’s that has been matured for 11 months in Fraîcheur barrels, which are a special mix of oak and acacia wood. It gains complexity and is all together a more serious wine.

A touch of tannin on the finish makes this a good food wine, especially with white meats and goats cheeses.

The 2023 vintage starts with touch of vanilla, then some lemony acacia on the mid palate and a touch of tannin to finish.

About Oatley Vineyard

Oatley Vineyard, nestled in the English countryside, is a rare second-generation family-owned vineyard. Founded by Iain and Jane in 1986, the vineyard's first vintage (1990) won an international award.

Fast-forward to today, and their son Ned and his wife Paula have taken the reins, leaving behind successful careers to raise their twins amidst the vineyard's idyllic setting.

In 1985, Iain and Jane traded corporate London for a rural life. With minimal knowledge of winemaking, they planted vines by hand and tended to their young family. The first harvest in 1988 was a communal effort, sparking a tradition of harvest lunches that continues to this day.

Under Ned and Paula's stewardship, Oatley Vineyard is evolving. New plantings include Pinot Noir and Cabeternet Noir, which will yield wines starting from 2025. As the family looks to the future, they remain committed to hand-tending their vines and crafting exceptional wines.
