Sidewood’s land buy for Shiraz

South Australian winery Sidewood Estate has today announced its acquisition of a 25ha vineyard on Ironstone Road at Echunga in the Adelaide Hills. The cool climate location of the new Echunga property fits with Sidewood’s current vineyards at Oakbank, Verdun and Nairne. Owen Inglis, Sidewood Estate owner, said the new vineyard will be dedicated to producing more Shiraz varieties, after a surge in popularity was making it difficult for the winery to keep up with demand.
