Good wine starts with good people
Oatley fine wine merchants
From the families who make them to the people who sell, pour and recommend them, we are proud to build lasting relationships around wines we genuinely believe in.
The Oatley Difference
Who are Oatley Fine Wine Merchants?
Oatley Fine Wine Merchants represents a broad portfolio of wines from respected wine families across Australia and around the world. We’re proudly family owned, serious about wine, and believe good business comes down to good people and strong relationships.
Our 60-person sales team works across metro and regional Australia, and we pride ourselves on being flexible and keeping things simple.
We get to know you and your business, and while our portfolio is extensive, we recommend only the wines we genuinely believe will work for your customers. Ordering is easy, in person or over the phone, and we deliver the next day.
Shaped over generations
The Oatley family approach
Established in 2006 by the late Bob Oatley, Oatley Fine Wine Merchants is today owned by his son Sandy, who worked alongside his father in wine for decades. Now Sandy’s daughter Nicky is helping shape the next chapter, bringing a third generation of the Oatley family into the wine business.
Wine has been part of the Oatley family for more than half a century. And while plenty has changed over that time, the way we like to do business hasn’t changed all that much: good wine, good people, strong relationships and a genuine commitment to supporting family wine businesses for the long haul.
Meet our newcomers
Welcome to our newest wine families
We’re delighted to welcome Bodegas Javier San Pedro Ortega and Bodegas Eguíluz to the OFWM portfolio. From Rioja Alavesa, two family estates representing a new generation of Rioja winemaking - deeply rooted in heritage, yet driven by a modern vision for the region.
Bodegas Javier San Pedro Ortega is a fifth-generation estate crafting expressive wines from carefully farmed vineyards around Laguardia, with a focus on precision, purity and the character of each site. Based in Ábalos, Bodegas Eguíluz continues a generations-old cosechero tradition, with Israel Eguíluz bringing a fresh perspective to wines that reflect the identity and diversity of Rioja’s vineyards.
We’re proud to introduce two producers who are shaping the future of one of Spain’s most celebrated wine regions.
