Overview

Overview

The Saltram Single Vineyard range was borne of the desire to showcase the diversity and complexity of Shiraz grown in the ancient soils of Barossa.

Sourced from low yielding vineyards, this wine is distinctly varietal with dense colour, lively aromatics and persistent tannins. The palate is richly textured with layers of chalky tannins which provide extraordinary length and persistence, a hallmark of the Angaston Road vineyard.

This wine is only made in small quantities.

Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

Opaque, no two ways about it. Pulpy aromas of black and blue berry fruits. Grapey. This is rich, polished and sumptuous, with liquorice backstrap, lilac floral scents and iodine squeegeed into the melee. The finish big-company-tangy, but swallowed by the sheer extract of fruit.

Vintage Conditions

The 2015/2016 growing season was characterised by a very warm and dry late Spring/early Summer period, finishing with a well-timed rainfall event at the end of January followed by mild weather conditions throughout February. These conditions restricted yields and led to high quality fruit potential. Sourced from low yielding vineyards, this wine is distinctly varietal with dense colour, lively aromatics and persistent tannins.
