2020 Sandalford Winemakers Shiraz
This is Shiraz – it’s all about the berries and spice. Mulberries, blueberries and blackberries mostly with bits of white pepper. It’s got that drinkability factor this one. Definitely a pizza wine. Drink now for maximum fruit impact.

Winemaker Notes
Usual stuff here … Ben (with some help) picked the grapes and Troy & Greg crushed it into the fermenter. Troy rehydrated some Shiraz yeast and added it to the grapes to start fermentation. It was on skins for about a week, before being pressed to separate the wine and the skins. It was then left for a small time to mature before bottling.

Vintage Conditions
Vineyard Notes
The 2020 vintage will be remembered by all for nothing to do with the grapes. Some virus landed in WA right as the grapes were ready to harvest. Thankfully we got through with no cases and thus no shutdowns. Apart from that, the grapes just did their thing. Another great year for them.
