South Australia

James Suckling 90 points!

Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful expression of this grape from Down Under. “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.”--Oxford Landing

The grapes were picked in the coolest part of the evening and left on skins after crushing to allow for maximum flavor extraction. 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 of complexity. The wine is pale straw in color with a tinge of green. Fresh and zesty aromas of guava, passion fruit pith, lemon grass and freshly mown lucerne hay. Light-bodied showing layers of fresh lemongrass and papaya flavors.

“Attractive, bright passion-fruit and lime-citrus aromas here. The palate has fresh elegance with low alcohol (10.5%) and there’s a fresh, dry finish with a handy textural edge. Great value.” — James Suckling, 90 points!
