Sandalford `Element` Merlot 2014 (12 x 7

  1. Sandalford `Element` Merlot 2014 (12 x 750mL), WA.

Wine Summary Image

2014 had moderate winter and spring conditions, with good rainfall levels, before a very warm and dry summer. An early January heat spike saw grapes ripen faster than previous years, with no disease pressure, and producing above average tonnes. All grapes were harvested in optimum conditions. The wines are all showing intense, full fruit flavours that just jump out of the glass.

Immediately after harvest the fruit was destemmed and crushed to 20 tonne static fermenters. Pumpovers were used for extraction and cap management during the fermentation which took place using a selected yeast strain. After fermentation the wine was drained, skins pressed with the pressings going back in with the free-run wine. The wine was then inoculated with a known MLF strain. Post this fermentation the wine was aged on older french oak before blending and bottling.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Cherry red.

Aroma

Classic plum and dusty notes to the fore, with red currants and spice notes supporting.

Palate

Medium bodied easy-drinking style that is all about the fruit. Lots of upfront plums and red berries, with silky tannins producing a great line through the mouth. Minimal oak is all about supporting the fruit. Drink now or within 5 years.

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.
