Shiraz: From French Roots to Australian Pride

Although the Shiraz grape has its roots in the French regions of Côte Rotie and Hermitage, Australia has embraced it and made it a national symbol. What makes Shiraz so special in Australia? Its ability to thrive in warm, dry climates and its resilience to the country's sometimes intense temperatures. Even in the least fertile soils, Shiraz seems to feel at home. Oxford Landing has recognized this unique quality and planted its vineyards with this robust grape. Their Shiraz is a fusion of craftsmanship and the grape's natural affection for the Australian terroir.
