Oxford Landing
Riverlife Stargazing Juicy Red
When the Hill-Smith Family first tilled the arid soils of Oxford Landing back in 1958, they were driven by a bold vision to put the life of the Riverland at the heart of their new vineyard. Now, over half a century later, that life has found itself etched into the stories and painted onto the bottles of Riverlife wines. Each label features a unique design by local artist Ant Candish to bring the elements of the local flora and fauna of the beautiful Riverland region to life through an interactive augmented reality experience.
Embracing sustainability at every step of the way, Riverlife by Oxford Landing brings a love of the Riverland and its abundant wildlife to the surface. Recycling wastewater, utilizing lightweight bottles and promoting zero use of animal products are initiatives undertaken by the Hill-Smith Family to help the river life not only survive, but continue to thrive, Lacewings, Eucalyptus Trees, and Southern Bent-wing Bats included. Riverlife by Oxford Landing embodies days spent basking in the sun, leaving wakes on the water, and easing into a night around the fire. The perfect balance between peace and exhilaration.
The Stargazing Juicy Red is Riverlife by Oxford Landing’s vibrant and glimmering attempt to give the night sky of the Riverland a flavor worthy in and of itself. It's the perfect wine for nights around the fire with a guitar in hand and singing under the stars with those you love most. It’s for working a little less, living a little more, and sharing your wildest dreams under the guise of the moonlight.
Wine Production
After harvest, the grapes are gently transferred to fermentation vessels and fermented using a native yeast that enhances the red fruit characters of the grapes. After fermentation on skins, the grapes are pressed so that only soft and juicy tannins are released, the wines are then blended and prepared for early bottling.
Tasting Notes
Delicious red fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry and even a hint of ripe strawberry. The light bodied palate is awash with juicy, raspberry, fruit flavors. Very soft and juicy on the palate with lingering red berries. Ideally drink while young and fresh, chilled slightly in the fridge for maximum enjoyment.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with a beef and caramelised red onion burger or spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce.
