No history of the Barossa Valley or the Australian wine industry is complete without the mention of Saltram. Established in 1859 by William Salter & Sons, Saltram wines have a proud history of more than 160 years for quality winemaking, innovation and a commitment to the Barossa region. An immigrant from England, William Salter was one of the first people to purchase land in the newly opened land survey known as the Barossa Valley. He then built a stone house for his family, naming it Mamre Brook which still stands today at the home of Saltram.
The Saltram Winemaker’s Selection Barossa Valley Grenache was crafted from a Single “Survivor’ Vineyard situated in Tanunda, Barossa Valley. The Winemaker's Selection was introduced to allow rare and unique parcels of fruit to remain separate so that they can show their true colours. Senior winemaker Alex MacKenzie believes Old Vine Grenache produces wine of great depth and character, and an ability to make complex aromatic and textured wines.

The wine has lifted aromatics reminiscent of freshly picked strawberries, rosehip and complemented by a hint of five spice powder. Some whole bunch fruit in ferment has added extra layers of aromas and complexity.
The palate is silky and textural with a seamless mouthfeel, showcasing bright flavours of red fruits and finishing with supple tannins. Mouth-watering acidity, with lingering coulis fruit cleanses the palate.
The 2022/2023 growing season was wet and cool. The 2023 ripening conditions were relatively dry with no significant events however conditions prior to harvest created challenges as delays in ripening, with heavier crops in particular larger berry sizes, meant vines worked harder to mature the fruit.
