Theres no doubt that getting it right in the vineyard remains the key, says Oxford Landing winemaker, Hugh Reimers. If the fruit isnt right in the vineyard, no amount of work in the winery can capture the wine that should have been. What we can do in the winery is contribute additional complexity. Its important to get the winemaking/vineyard balance right. We do everything we can to ensure that all the varietal character weve worked so hard to achieve shines through in the finished wine.

"Green-gold. Varietally accurate aromas of peach a pricot apple and white flowers. Fresh and brisk with no excess fat. This ought to appeal to those who are averse to loose-knit or overstated viognier. Crisp and focused the peach and pear flavors picking up a subtle vanilla note on the back. Finishes on a dusty mineral note. This is a remarkable bargain for an often overpriced variety."

"Smooth and ripe, this is generous with its creamy pear and lime flavors, which linger on the finish. Drink now. 2,500 cases imported. "

Classic viognier aromas of peach, apricot, apple and white flowers on the nose. Refreshingly crisp on the palate; the ripe pear and peach fruit flavors are rich yet focused with a delicate hint of vanilla in the background. A stylish wine with just enough acidity to balance the velvety fruit.

Lifted violets and plums are dominant on the nose, enhanced by the inclusion of Viognier, which is balanced by hints of chocolate and dark berry fruit. The palate is soft and supple with lingering fruit flavours of red cherry, raspberry and liquorice which is complemented with soft tannins and a long succulent finish.
