The Sidewood Vineyard is situated at the 300 acre Ashwood Estate in the cool-climate of the Adelaide Hills wine region, 380m above sea level. Climate, soil, careful pruning techniques and hand-picking play a vital role to ensure that only the best fruit is produced for Sidewood Wines. With the rows of vineyards planted facing East - West, this ensures that combined with intensive canopy management the intensity of the fruit flavour profile will be enhanced.

Individual parcels left for an extended maceration on skins, wild-yeast fermented in French barrels, matured for 15 months before final blending. The bouquet is expressive and multifaceted, with pepper, licorice and spice decorating the black fruits, dark chocolate and earth on the medium-bodied palate. Its balance is flawless. Exceptional value. Drink to: 2046; Price: $26.00; Alcohol: 14.5%; Rating: 96 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion
