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.

Vivid straw with a slight green edge to the hue. An intense lift of grapefruit and exotic citrus aromas burst out of the glass. Flecks of flint and nougat complement the exuberant array of fruits on display. Subtle toasted hazelnuts add to the complex set of aromas, enticing the consumer for more. On the palate, an explosion of fruit flavours are reflective of the aromas. Polished white peaches and grapefruit flesh are incredibly vivid. Specks of finger lime add contrast to the succulent experience. A very fluid journey across the palate completes the tactile experience where not a hair is out of place. A wine where we speak in contradictions - generous yet refined, powerful but elegant.
