Mamre Brook Barossa Shiraz 2023

Overview

Overview

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 Saltram.
Saltram wines have long been known for their richness, intensity and character: this wine delivers on these attributes while reflecting and paying tribute to their origins.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Lifted aroms of cherries, plums and cassis with layers of raspberry and licorice and subtle spice oak influence. 

Flavours and Palate

The palate is full to medium bodied, combining fresh plum, cranberries, and mulberries with fine silky tannins and succulent acidity that is balanced, plush and seamless. An intriguing blend of bright sweet fruit, and savoury pulpy tannins.

Vintage Conditions

The 2022/23 growing season was wet and cool, it was the wettest spring since 1992 and the wettest November for well over 100 years. Persistent rainfall events and saturated soils lead to full dams – some dams overflowed during the spring, this water and further rainfall events caused low lying areas to flood with some vineyards going underwater. The rains started to ease back over December as surface moisture dried up and the vines enjoyed some much-needed sunshine.
