Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc

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. 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. Winemaking/viticulture the grapes were picked in the coolest part of the evening and left on skins post crushing to allow maximum flavour extraction. To assist with preservation of natural fruit flavours the juices are handled with minimal air contact. Cool fermentation follows with aromatic yeast strains to enhance the punchy varietal zest of sauvignon blanc. A percentage was fermented on skins which has added an extra dimension
