[SOLD-OUT] Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2017

 

"80/20% Barossa/Eden Valleys. Matured 18 months in new and seasoned large format French oak barrels. Judicious fruit selection was key in '17 in the Barossa. Cool years like these bless the Barossa with brightness, definition, integrity and endurance. Saltram has captured all the focus and poise of the season while upholding incredible black fruit density. Epic tannins entwine with magnificent natural acidity. High-class French oak sits just behind the fruit at every moment of a very long finish." - Tyson Stelzer for Halliday Wine Companion

"Big, beefy red. Dark and rich, potent and strong, ripples with thick tannin, inky with concentrated forest berry, salted liquorice and dark chocolate flavours and scents. Sooty woody notes, warm spice, bacon bone characters too. Finds good balance and beautiful, velvety texture, a steam train of wine at full pace. All this, balanced pretty darn well too. A ‘strap in’ experience." - Mike Bennie for Wine Front

"The Saltram No.1 Shiraz is one of the most decorated wines to be made from the Barossa. Sourced from low-yielding vines primarily along the Eastern fringe of the Barossa Valley floor, the wine is a perfect postcard of the strength, power and character that is typical of iconic Barossa Shiraz. Made in traditional style open fermenters and with a deep intensity in both colour and flavour, it is a wine that will never disappoint. Saltram wines have long been known for their richness, intensity, and character: this wine reflects these attributes while exploring the depth of the Barossa." - Saltram
