2018 Saltram No. 1 Barossa Shiraz

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.

Palate - This full-bodied red wine has a velvety palate with an excellent line of fruit flavours, chalky tannins, and a fine lingering finish. The palate is dense with layers of rich dark fruits, a complex array of spices and a wonderful seamless palate that continues to persist.

Nose - Ripe blood plums, black olives and dark cherries complemented with hints of cocoa and anise.

Maturation - Large format seasoned French oak casks and new and seasoned French oak barrels for 16 months.
