Saltram 1859 Shiraz 2023

The essence of Saltram is its rich and expressive style. Old Barossa vineyards, the unique Angaston mineral soils, localised climatic influences and a touch of classy winemaking makes it instantly recognisable. A Barossa icon since 1859, many of Australia's most influential and celebrated winemakers have passed through Saltram's cellar door. Today, the winemaking excellence continues with Shavaughn Wells who produces wines that are the essence of the Barossa. Created in a contemporary style, this Barossa Shiraz has notes of dark berries. The palate is rich with an excellent balance of fruit flavours, subtle tannins and a soft, silky finish. This vibrant and textural example of Barossa Shiraz is sourced from both the Barossa and Eden Valley’s from the expressive 2015 vintage. The lushness of the Barossa Valley floor Shiraz is tempered by the soft tannins and aromatic notes from the Shiraz of Eden Valley, producing a wine with length and generosity. Aromas Red currants and fresh dark cherries complemented with hints of savoury clove and spice. Flavours and Palate The palate is soft and generous with abundance of dark fruit and velvety tannins with notes of clove and spice adding layers to the lush palate. This wine can be enjoyed now but will also cellar well under ideal conditions.
