Oxford Landing Rosé
Wine Description
At Oxford Landing, we like to ‘keep it real’. That means maintaining a sense of perspective and recognizing 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
Dry conditions during winter and spring were followed by a hot December. The harvest period from late January through February proved remarkable, the mild days with cool nights contributing to wonderful freshness and acidity.
About the Vineyard
The grapes for this Rosé are grown on a range of red sandy soils over limestone. Carefully controlled irrigation of these individual sites promotes well balanced canopies, allowing the fruit to ripen in dappled light and developing optimal fruit flavor. Gentle pressing of the freshly picked grapes releases perfectly colored juice for this Rosé. The juice is fermented using a combination of cultured and naturally occurring yeast to produce a range of fresh and vibrant flavors.
