Oxford Landing 2008 GSM Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

The fruit for this Grenach-Shiraz-Mourverdre is grown on a range of red sandy soils over limestone. Carefully controlled irrigation and water management of these individual sites allows optimal fruit flavour to develop. As this was a very hot vintage, careful attention in the vineyards led to flavours and tannins that are balanced with good length and without overripe or jammy.
Bright plum with magenta hues, it has lifted forest berry fruits with hints of liquorice and spice. Plum and dark fruit from the Shiraz are complemented by the raspberries, red cherries and spice from the Grenache, creating a rich compote of flavours on the palate. These flavours are balanced on the palate by chalky Mourvedre tannins that provide a slightly savoury finish. Screwcap. <
