SANDALFORD Wines is set to expand after an agreement to buy the Killerby vineyard on Caves Rd, Margaret River.
The vineyard is located on the boundary of Sandalford’s existing 400ha vineyard.
Sandalford Wines chief executive Grant Brinklow said the purchase provided Sandalford with a unique, long-term opportunity.
“First and foremost and coinciding with our vision of delivering ‘a fine wine experience’, our primary objective is for Sandalford to be a benchmark producer of premium and super premium wine from one of Australia’s – and fast becoming the world’s – leading wine-producing appellations, Margaret River,” he said.
“This acquisition will help achieve that objective by giving us access to some more well-established vines on arguably one of the best sites in the region.”
Mr Brinklow said the site would play host to large-scale concerts and events over the coming years.
“Negotiations are currently underway with our promoter partners to bring some truly world class performers to our Margaret River vineyard next season, the likes of which haven’t performed in the region previously,” he said.
Mr Brinklow said the venue would hold at least 12,000 people.
“We have aspirations of making our Margaret River vineyard the premier winery concert venue in the country.”
