About the Winery

Located in Wallington on the Bellarine Peninsula, Oakdene was established 2001 by Bernard and Elizabeth Hooley. Oakdene's wine maker, Robin Brockett, has over 30yrs winemaking experience in the broader Geelong region.

It is very important to remember that this zone of the Geelong region is very much a maritime climate and thus should be viewed very differently to the inner, warmer plains where the likes of Bannockburn and Wine By Farr are located.

"The quality is exemplary, as is the consistency of that quality; Robin Brockett's skills are on full display. A new vineyard (11km from Oakdene) planted in '17 (to shiraz, pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, merlot, riesling, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon) has increased the plantings from 12ha to 32ha." 5 Star Winery - James Halliday
