Oxford Landing Riverlife Sun Chasing Pinot Grigio
Wine Description
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.

Wine Production
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.
