About this Wine

Sandpiper Merlot is deep red with garnet hues at the edge. It exudes enticing aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and dark chocolate, followed by subtle notes of vanilla and baking spice. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied with a plush texture that coats the mouth with flavours of blackberry, raspberry, and black currant. The tannins are silky, providing a smooth and satisfying finish.

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
