Australia Vineyards Sandalford Wines Founded in 1840, Sandalford is one of Western Australia's oldest and largest privately owned wineries. Supported by one of WA's leading wine tourism facilities, recognised with winning 3 major categories at the West Australian Tourism Awards. Offering multi-award winning premium wines, stunning wedding and function facilities, luxury river cruises, culinary distinction and world class concerts, Sandalford leaves no stone unturned. The historic Sandalford Wines is located in the heart of the Swan Valley on the banks of the beautiful Swan River, a short 25- minutes drive from the city of Perth. Western Australia's first Surveyor General, John Septimus Roe founded the 40 hectare Estate in 1840, which now includes 22 hectares under vine as well as housing the Winery, hospitality and tourism facilities and administration. He named the property Sandalford after the priory in Berkshire where his father was rector. The Estate formed part of the second land title in all of Western Australia. In 1972 Sandalford developed a major vineyard in Margaret River. This coastal region in Western Australia's south-west is a premium Australian grape growing area and the Margaret River vineyard is Sandalford's largest source of grapes. This vineyard is now not only one of the oldest, but also one the largest, covering 600 acres. After a brief period of overseas ownership, Sandalford Wines is now Australia's oldest and largest family owned winery. After purchasing Sandalford in 1991, proprietors Peter and Debra Prendiville and an enthusiastic team of professionals are actively managing an ongoing multi-million dollar redevelopment of both the winery and the vineyard. Under their guidance, Sandalford produces exceptional quality premium wines, available in more than 35 countries around the world and offers visitors to it's Swan Valley winery a world class wine tourism, hospitality and education facility. Sandalford Wines 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 three ranges of wine, the entry point Element range, the ever classic premium Sandalford range and the super premium Prendiville Reserve. All wines are made by the same exacting standards and attention to detail. 3210 West Swan Rd, Caversham, WA, 6055 Phone: +61 8 9374 9374 Fax: +61 8 9274 2154 Website :www.sandalford.com
