Default Water paint on oily undercoat!

An ornamental garden gate in softwood. I gave it a few coats of
aluminium primer and best quality grey oil undercoat. Mrs W chose a top
coat of Farrow and Ball exterior gloss which to my surprise is water
based. Anyway it doesn't go on, won't film at all.

The undercoat is matt and was rubbed down a bit so advice to key the
surface better will be pointless. Is there a solution to this? or just
buy oil gloss?
