Oxford Landing

Merlot

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

Fermentation was carried out in a combination of static and rotary fermenters under warm temperature conditions for a period of 6 days. This creates balance between extracting the appropriate tannins for wine structure, and retaining fruit drive and aromatics.

Tasting Notes

Crimson in color with purple hues. Enticing aromas of milk chocolate, plum and red berries with subtle cedar and spices. The medium-bodied palate starts with vibrant flavors of plums and red cherry and although tightly structured, the finish is rich and generous with persistent fruit flavors. Soft, velvety tannins are a feature of the supple palate.

Food Pairing

Roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, or fettuccine with a creamy tomato sauce and asparagus would be a lovely accompaniment.
