Oxford Landing Value White 2-Pack Pre-Sell
***Reviews on 2009 Viognier***
Wine Enthusiast: Rated as Very good, may offer outstanding value if the price is right. "Yes, it is possible to find real Viognier character for $10 per bottle (conceivably $6 by the glass). Featuring ample fruit balanced by crisp acids, this is very drinkable stuff." May 2011 Winery: "Pale straw with green hues, the Oxford Landing Estates Viognier has aromas of lifted musk and honeysuckle followed on with hints of white flowers and stone fruit.The palate is richly textural with classic Viognier minerality complemented perfectly with ripe flavours of the late season’s peach and apricot. A great wine for drinking now." ***Reviews on 2010 Chardonnay*** James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion 2012 : Rated as Recommended. Wines of above-average quality, fault-free, and with clear varietal expression. "As is often the case, offers superior value for money, with ripe stone fruit flavours offset by citrusy acidity on the finish." Winery: "A pale golden straw with vibrant green hues, the Oxford Landing Estates Chardonnay 2010 has lifted aromas of freshly cut white peaches, citrus and honeydew melon with an underlying hint of nougat, nutmeg and cinnamon spice. The clean, crisp palate has a wonderfully even texture with underlying white stone fruits and fresh citrus flavours and tantalising mineral acidity. A fine creamy texture is the result of continual lees stirring." Cool Fact: "Up to five percent of reserve wines, aged in oak barrels, is added to every new vintage blend of Oxford Landing Chardonnay - a unique technique and one Oxford Landing is particularly proud of, helping to enhance character and quality." Wired For Wine: Talk about your astonishing Aussie white bang for your buck! This Oxford Landing Estates Value White 2-Pack is the ultimate summer sipper duo. Stock up for yourself, or give them as gifts. Get your diners' attention when you offer them a cool glass along with a shooter of chestnut lobster soup. They will be riveted. The crisp acidity, stone fruit, white flowers and classic minerality in one or the other of these wines make them fantastic with chicken, fish, seafood pork, salads and much more. The acidity of the Chardonnay goes beautifully with pan-seared scallops with chive butter sauce. The Chardonnay's citrus notes will shine next to crisp-roasted chicken with lemons and olives. Try the Viognier with fried catfish and a ginger sauce. You will still be very much in command of everybody's attention, so open a couple more bottles and serve them with room temperature French chevre Crottins and toasted baguette rounds. Life is short, mates; pop those Aussie whites open!!
