Oxford Landing

Chardonnay

Welcome to our home. Oxford Landing in South Australia’s Riverland is an unforgettable place. Just ask the locals. The beautiful River Murray runs through the imposing, red landscape, filling the community and environment with life and promise. Here, we tend the vineyard that produces our collection of sustainably produced, affordable, vegan wines. They are a taste of our sun-soaked region to be enjoyed in your home.

Wine Production

The Chardonnay for this wine is sourced from vineyards in South Australia, where our access to the latest clonal and rootstock combinations continues to deliver outstanding fruit. Our winemaking is focused on minimal intervention with the use of wild yeasts, malolactic fermentation, lees contact and subtle oak to give our Chardonnay depth, complexity and personality.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw green in color. Aromas of yellow peach and ripe nectarine with hints of wild honey and lemon myrtle are supported by freshly cut hay and cinnamon spice. Layers of flavor build across the palate reflecting the fruit, natural fermentation and ageing on yeast lees. The slightest hint of oak comes through on the palate as cinnamon and spice, highlighting the complexity derived from barrel matured reserve wine. Balanced acidity gives the wine a refreshing finish.

Food Pairing

Enjoy with prawn and preserved lemon cous cous salad or chickpea, avocado, coriander and lime salad.
