Tasting Notes for Current Vintage
James Haliday Rating: ллллл
Sandalford has made wines for over 150 years, changing their wines and vinification in many ways. Winemaking however has been around for thousands of years so in some sense little has changed!
Since the early 1990's Sandalford Wines returned to family ownership with Peter and Debra Prendiville at the helm. Their significant changes to the winery over the past ten years reflect modern practices, yet maintain the tradition and mystique behind the winemaking process. For example, whilst Sandalford use the latest equipment for processing fruit during vintage, Sandalford maintains small batch processing of all fruit and use only the top quality French and American small Oak barrels.
Today the winery oversees two prestigious vineyards, one in the famed Wilyabrup region of Margaret River and the other in the Swan Valley.
Sandalford Wines now essentially produce two ranges of wine, the entry point Element range and the ever classic Premium range. Both ranges are made by the same exacting standards and attention to detail.
