Wine Description

At Oxford Landing, we like to ‘keep it real’. That means maintaining a sense of perspective and recognising what really matters. Remembering where we came from and being proud of our roots. And making wines that are a true reflection of the place they come from. Set on the banks of South Australia’s majestic Murray River, the Oxford Landing vineyard is named after a nearby site where an old paddle steamer called ‘The City of Oxford’ met with an untimely end. Drovers once grazed and watered sheep here but today it’s home to a loyal flock of down-to-earth folk who take great pride in making quality wines, enjoyed the world over.

Acclaim
“This is a solid South Aussie Chard at a bargain price. Peach and pineapple are backed by a salted caramel note. The palate is neatly balanced between a creamy texture and bright acidity, with a crisp, refreshing finish.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2020
