Sandalford Element Cabernet Merlot 2016 (12x 750mL) WA

Description:

Vintage

2016 started with mild spring conditions, which developed into a warm and dry start to summer. However, a tropical rain event in mid-January interrupted these lovely conditions. With this moisture came the challenge of increased disease pressure on the grapes. Despite this challenge, all of grapes harvested were of exceptional quality, showing intense varietal characters.

Winemakers Comments

Immediately after harvest, the grapes were destemmed and crushed into fermenters. Twice daily pump overs were used for extraction and cap management during fermentation which took place using selected yeast strains. After the completion of both the primary and malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged with older French oak before blending and bottling.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

Plum red.

Nose

Obvious blackberries and blackcurrants with underlying notes of spiced plums.

Palate

Sweet berry flavours up front, balanced with mocha and spices. Soft and silky tannins give plenty of weight and texture. Drinking beautifully now, but will cellar nicely for a few years yet.

This wine is vegan and vegetarian friendly

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Red 5 Star Winery James Halliday, Austarlian Wine Companion 2011 Edition 

"RED 5 STAR WINERY – Sandalford is an outstanding winery regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity.”

Australia’s most pre-eminent wine critic, James Halliday, awards Sandalford Wines the very coveted RED 5 star rating in the Australian Wine Companion 2011 Edition.

Sandalford Wines was established in 1840 and is today privately owned by the Prendiville family.

In the early 1970’s Sandalford was one of the pioneers in establishing vineyards in the Margaret River planting 96 hectares in the sub region of Wilyabrup. It is this old, dry grown vineyard that is the source of the Prendiville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the Estate Reserve range of wines. These wines under the winemaking expertise of Paul Boulden are superb examples of Margaret River at its best, winning praise from notable wine writers and a series of trophies and gold medals at both national and international wine shows.

A new addition to the Sandalford portfolio is the Margaret River Range of wines positioned at the “midprice point” of today’s premium market. It is the fastest growing segment of the wine market and with Sandalford’s world class resources in Margaret River, this range has been developed to tap into this consumer trend. The wines are sourced from a combination of the Sandalford Estate and other premium vineyards in the Margaret River with wine styles reflecting current consumer tastes for vibrant, up front varietal flavours.
