Oxford Landing South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2019 (Australia)

Description

• Blackberry & plum
• Spice notes
• Silky texture
• Soft tannins

Dark red in colour with crimson hues. Aromas of blackberry and plums with subtle notes of Blackcurrant and tobacco leaf. The palate is elegantly structured with a silky texture and fruit sweetness to the mid-palate with layers of blackberry and spice, finishing with soft tannins.

A cooler Winter with below average rainfall. Warm to hot Summer days and dry weather coupled with controlled irrigation produced good canopies on the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. This was great for ripening and has produced grapes with great flavour and concentration.

Fermentation was carried out in combination of static and rotary fermenters under warm temperature conditions for six days. This creates balance between extracting the appropriate tannin for wine structure and retaining fruit flavour and aromatics.

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, winemakers ten the vineyard that produces this collection of sustainably produced, affordable, vegan wines. They are the taste of the sun-soaked region to be enjoyed in your home.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with grilled steak and vegetables or vegetarian moussaka.
