Early January rain caused some initial concern in the lead-up to vintage 2005. Then the skies cleared and the rest of Summer remained warm and dry. Fruit flavours developed later this vintage but patience was rewarded with excellent fruit flavours and fine tannin structure in the final wine.

Oxford Landing Fact

Cabernet Sauvignon is the original and oldest planting at Oxford Landing with some vines in excess of 40 years old. These vines are believed to be some of the first planted in the region.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz is the definitive Australian wine blend. No other wine style is considered to be as uniquely and unashamedly Australian. Some of Australia’s most legendary wines have been made in this style. The ripe soft flavours and textures of Shiraz marry perfectly with the elegance and power of Cabernet Sauvignon.
