Riverlife Wake Making Moscato

Oxford Landing

Riverlife Wake Making Moscato

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, Pelicans, Red Gums, and Murray Cod 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 Wake Making Moscato is for the wake-makers drying off in the sun after a day on the water. Whether it’s on the wakeboards, skis, or the helm of the boat, this Moscato is all about the fast and frivolous fun of the Riverland.

Wine Production

Cool fermentation with aromatic yeast strains retains the lovely varietal flavor of the Muscat grape. The ferment is stopped early to maintain the perfect balance between natural acidity and grape sugar in the final blend.

Tasting Notes

Pale gold in color with green tints. Bursting aromas of white roses, jasmine, lychee, pineapple and guava. The palate is delicate and refreshingly light with flavors of guava, lychee and mango sorbet. The residual fruit sweetness is balanced by fresh citrus acidity and a subtle hint of spritz on the finish.

Food Pairing

The perfect wine to enjoy on a warm and sunny afternoon with a platter of mixed sashimi or fresh fruit. Great with a range of food from spicy curries to blueberry pancakes and vanilla ice cream.
