2022 Saltram Winemaker's Selection Barossa Valley Sangiovese

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 the home of Saltram. The Saltram Winemaker’s Selection Barossa Valley Sangiovese was crafted from a Saltram Vineyard located in Angaston, Barossa Valley. The Winemaker's Selection was introduced to allow rare and unique parcels of fruit to remain separate so that they can show their true colours.

Senior winemaker Alex MacKenzie believes this 2022 Sangiovese produces wine of great depth and character, and an ability to make complex aromatic and textured wines.

Maturation - Matured in seasoned large format French oak casks and seasoned French oak vat barrels for 9 months. 

Nose- This Sangiovese has lifted aromatics of fresh dark cherries with dried herbal notes and nuances of mulberries and chinotto.
