Saltram The Journal Centenarium Shiraz 2017 750ml

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 150 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. From the first time William Salter planted vines in 1859, he meticulously kept a Journal to record his vineyard and winemaking activities, including techniques that are still used to make the Saltram wines today. Saltram wines have long been known for their richness, intensity and character: this wine reflects these attributes and explores the depth of the Barossa. This vineyard was planted in the Eden Vally in 1901- making it one of the ldest Barossa Vineyards
