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.

Wine Production

This wine is made with 100% natural (or wild) fermentation. These Pinot Grigio grapes, and the indigenous yeast that transformed them into wine, have created layers of flavour and richness. After fermentation the wine was left on yeast lees for three months and stirred every week to imbue a complexity and creaminess to the wine, and a richness to the palate.

About the Vineyard

Situated on the banks of the Murray River, the Oxford Landing vineyard produces grapes perfect for fresh and varietal wines. The Pinot Grigio is grown on a range of red sandy soils over limestone. Carefully controlled irrigation of these individual sites promotes well-balanced canopies. The fruit ripens in dappled light allowing optimal fruit flavour to develop.
