Oxford Landing![]()
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.
