Vince Reserve Viognier Marsanne 2025
Vince’s Story
Vincent O’Reilly – Vintage 1931 – 1999
Born in the rolling hills of Maleny in 1931, Vincent “Vince” O’Reilly made his first journey to the O’Reilly’s mountain guesthouse at just 13 years old. After completing his apprenticeship and working across western Queensland, Vince returned in 1955 to help run the family’s Lamington guesthouse. Alongside his brother Peter “Big Pete” O’Reilly, he took the reins from the first generation and helped shape the future of O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat.
A devoted husband to Lona and proud father to 10 children raised on the mountain, Vince’s legacy spans more than four decades. He is widely recognised as a pioneer of Australian ecotourism, dedicating his life to preserving nature while sharing it with others. Vince O’Reilly passed away in 1999 at age 68, but his contribution to O’Reilly’s and nature-based tourism lives on.
Vince Reserve Viognier Marsanne – 750ml
This Viognier–Marsanne blend comes from Peter and Megan O’Reilly’s vineyard in Queensland’s Granite Belt region near Stanthorpe. The high altitude and cool climate help the grapes develop vibrant flavour and natural balance.
First, the wine opens with inviting aromas of ripe apricot and delicate white blossom. Next, the palate reveals fresh melon and bright citrus notes. A gentle touch of spice follows, adding warmth and complexity. Together, these elements create a smooth, medium-bodied wine with a clean, refreshing finish.
Viognier brings expressive stone fruit and floral character. Meanwhile, Marsanne adds texture, structure, and subtle spice. As a result, the blend feels both elegant and approachable, while clearly reflecting the Granite Belt’s unique terroir.
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roast chicken, and creamy pasta dishes. Additionally, it is easy to enjoy on its own, making it perfect for relaxed afternoons or casual gatherings.
