    • Description

      Our 864 range features exceptional wines from specific and single blocks, produced in small quantities and released in only the best years. An Oakridge 864 wine is terroir-driven. Made to demonstrate the importance of time and place with every bottle, and always a tribute to tradition, these wines are ready to drink now or cellar.
       

      Light straw with green hues. Fresh and vibrant. Complex and intense. Orchard fruit - peach and nectarine, dried apricot and pear, light herbal nuance and flint all laced together with notes of cordite and burnt match. The palate is ripe, round, expressive and dense. Concentrated flavours that are richly mouth filling, without any flabbiness or lack of line. The citric laced acidity, the toothsome river stone texture carrying the flavours and balancing the structure to a crescendo that lasts minutes. One of the very good 864s.
