Description:

Sandalford’s estate at Caversham, Swan Valley, had its genesis in 1840 and coincided with both European settlement in the burgeoning colony of Perth and the birth of Western Australia’s world famous wine industry. Queen Victoria granted John Septimus Roe, Western Australia’s first Surveyor General, 4,000 acres of land on the riverbanks at West Swan in honor of his service to the Commonwealth. He named the property Sandalford after a priory in Berkshire, England. - his original home. Among J S Roe’s significant legacy was the setting aside of Kings Park and laying out the towns of Perth and Fremantle. Descendants of the Roe family evaluated expanding into the Margaret River region in South Western Australia, purchased a 300 hectare property and in 1970 planted vines at Wilyabrup - a destination now recognised on the world stage for amazing Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Chardonnay. The 1990s heralded a new era for Sandalford Wines. Western Australia’s Prendiville family was already immersed in tourism and hospitality when they identified Sandalford with a vision to not only produce wines of distinction but also with the perfect synergy of wine and tourism. Sandalford creates today’s collection of Prendiville Reserve, Estate Reserve, 1840 Range, Margaret River Range, Winemakers and Element award-winning wines from its two fertile vineyards. With advanced viticultural practices and a progressive winemaking team, the Sandalford brand enjoys a long-standing reputation for quality and exceeding expectations at every price point.
