Key No.1 Shiraz
Shiraz

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz Saltram No. 1 Shiraz stands proudly as one of the great Australian red wines and as one of the truly great Barossa Shiraz wines. Created by Nigel Dolan in 1993 as his tribute to the classic Saltram wines made by his father Brian and Peter Lehmann, the No. 1 has become one of the country’s most awarded wines.

Since the 1993 vintage the No. 1 has won numerous awards at major wine shows across Australia. The secret to the No. 1’s success lies in the extraordinary heritage of old Barossa vines along the eastern fringes of the Valley floor. Fruit from these old wines is gently crushed before being made in open fermenters and subsequently matured in French and American oak for around 18-24 months.The resultant wine is always intensely flavoured yet beautifully integrated and balanced, best enjoyed five to 15 years after vintage.

Fruit for the 2002 No.1 Shiraz has been sourced from mature yielding vineyards on the central and eastern side of the Barossa Valley floor. The 2002 vintage was milder than average and produced fully ripened Shiraz, giving this wine intense concentration of flavour and tannin.The wine is deep red in colour, intensely aromatic, rich and warm in the classic Barossa style. The palate has power and weight with ripe, spicy full-bodied fruit and coffee flavours combining with some wonderful savoury hints. The finish shows a firm texture and anextraordinary long, drying finish.

The wine has been awarded 3 Trophies and 8 Gold medals
