“ There'll be few better wines released this year than the majestic drop crafted by Nigel Dolan, Saltram's Eighth Maker. Winner of the prestigious 2003 Jimmy Watson Trophy- it’s an absolute belter. ”

“ Serious wine buffs can finally experience this special wine for themselves... the Eighth Maker 2002 Shiraz - awarded best one year old red wine at the Melbourne Wine Show 2003. ”

“ Make an investment in Saltram's The Eighth Maker 2002 Shiraz. Winner of the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy the 2002 vintage benefited from a cool summer and Saltram's expert fruit selection. ”

“ The third vintage of Saltram's flagship Barossa Shiraz, The Eighth Maker, is dense and concentrated... cedary notes mixing with flavours of new leather and dark berries. Layered and persistent, it promises to be around at least until the next generation of Dolans wins another JW (Jimmy Watson Trophy). ”

“ Nigel Dolan has returned Saltram to its glory days with his Saltram 2002 Eight Maker Shiraz. ”

“ Excellent hue, still purple-red; a prime example of a great, cool vintage in the Barossa; tight, blackberry fruit; long, lingering tannins.- Rating 94/100 ”

“Dedicated to the eight winemakers who have worked at Saltram since 1859 (Peter Lehman was there from 1960 to 1979), this new super-premium Barossa shiraz is deeply coloured with aromas of dark fruits, cedar and vanilla from new French oak and eve n a little star anise. Complex and balanced, ripe, yet not jammy, this intense and concentrated wine also has a good deal of finesse. A wine to put away for at least another 10 years.”
