2022 Sandalford 1840 Cabernet Shiraz
The palate has lovely ripe fruit weight that is overlaid with layers of savoury spice., mocha and cedar notes adding complexity. The firm, tight tannins and acid balance work together to carry the palate to present a wine with wonderful length of flavour. In short, a great wine from a great vintage.

Winemaker Notes
2022 was dry and hot. The preceding winter and spring rainfall were above average and provided ample ground moisture for the vines to cope with the heat extremes of the summer. Fruit ripened to plan and was harvested with ripe, fresh flavours. The resulting wines display ripe, concentrated varietal fruit characteristics.
