Oxford Landing isn't some invented name on a wine label.  It's a real place, a real vineyard, that lies alongside the River Murray near the South Australian river town of Waikerie. Wyndham Hill Smith found this place in 1958.  He saw the clear blue skies above the site and felt the gentle warmth of the sun.  He held the rich, free-draining soil and knew this would be a wonderful place for growing grapes. Yalumba purchased the block naming it Oxford Landing after a nearby site where drovers once grazed and watered sheep on the long journey to Adelaide from northern pastoral properties.  Planting began almost immediately and Oxford Landing became the first major vineyard development in the area.

Today, the Estate has matured into one of Australia's most innovative viticultural enterprises delivering varietal flavour that accurately reflects the unique vineyard terroir.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc have been combined to produce this approachable and versatile wine with its abundance of rich fruit flavours and smooth, lingering finish. It is the perfect companion for a cornucopia of foods flavours and styles. Ripe mulberry with warm brick red hues. The nose exhibits fresh and fruit-driven characters: encapsulating strawberries and green raspberry from the Merlot, tomato leaf and juicy melon from the Cabernet Sauvignon, whilst the Cabernet Franc contributes spicy notes of aniseed, cinnamon and peppermint. On the palate, the rich berry flavours linger and the tannins are soft and spicy. There is a great acid line with a rich, round palate texture built around it. The mc² is an extremely well balanced wine in all facets that make it a great accompaniment to any food choices. The Rymill mc² Merlot Cabernet is one of the best food wines in the country, which will also enjoy further bottle age.
