Rathbone family wines on the move

As a wine drinker you probably don't care how your favourite wines are distributed - but it can make a major difference as to which retail outlets stock them, and which wine lists they appear on.

Rathbone Wine Group (RWG), the Australian family-owned wine group made up of three major brands: Yering Station, Mount Langi Ghiran and Xanadu, is on the move. 

It will join Oatley Fine Wine Merchants (OFWM) for eastern seaboard distribution of their wine portfolio from May 1, 2025, moving from the Tahbilk-owned The Wine Company. 

Yering Station in the Yarra Valley is known for its chardonnay and pinot noir; Mount Langi Ghiran in Victoria's Grampians region, specialises in cool-climate shiraz; and Xanadu in Margaret River, Western Australia, is a well-known producer of cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. 

RWG is led by Darren Rathbone (CEO and group winemaker), Doug Rathbone (chairman) and Brad Rathbone (export director). 

OFWM was founded in 2006 by the late Robert (Bob) Oatley and is owned by his eldest son Andrew (Sandy) Oatley and daughter Nicole Oatley (director), 

“We are thrilled to be joining the OFWM team,” says RWG chairman Doug Rathbone. “We have no doubt that they will not only maintain but continue to identify new customers in their impressive network of both on- and off-trade clientele. 

"Our two family businesses have shared values, focussing on iconic regions and brands of the highest echelon.

“I also want to acknowledge and thank our current Distributor, The Wine Co., for their custodianship, support and representation of our brands over the last five years.” 

Sandy Oatley said: “RWG’s Yering Station, Mount Langi Ghiran and Xanadu are three of Australia’s most noted wine producers. To have them join our portfolio makes us immensely proud."
