Oxford Landing Riverlife Sun Chasing Pinot Grigio
2022
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
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, Carpet Pythons, Ruby
Saltbush, and South Bell Frogs 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 Sun Chasing Pinot Grigio is for watching the sunset mirrored on the water as it makes its
descent out of the sky. It’s for celebrating all that is good in the moment as the local wildlife
start their evening chorus.
Sun Chasing Pinot Grigio is crafted with 100% natural fermentation. The Pinot Grigio grapes,
and the indigenous yeast that transformed them into wine, create layers of flavor and richness.
After fermentation, the wine is left on yeast lees for three months and stirred weekly to imbue
complexity and creaminess to the wine and richness to the palate.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
Aromas of custard apples, poached pears and freshly baked apple pie. Flavors of freshly baked
apples with a finish that is deliciously creamy with soft acidity.
F O O D P A I R I N G
Lively and fresh with weight and texture to match an array of dishes such as lemon herb
chicken, mushroom and thyme risotto or grilled asparagus.
