| Description: |
 |
Saltram No. 1 is rich, velvet red in colour with deep purple hues. Blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum, chocolate and spice aromas on the nose are given further complexity by mocha coffee and oak notes. The powerful, weighty palate is complex, rich and elegant, displaying rich, spicy varietal fruit, subtle oak and coffee characters and wonderful savoury flavours. This intense yet elegant wine has firm, grainy tannins and a long, rich finish. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, dark cherry, spice, chocolate and liquorice with a subtle coffee bean, cedar oak influence develop into an intense yet balanced palate bursting with ripe, spicy varietal fruit. The palate is given complexity by subtle oak coffee bean characters and wonderful savoury flavours. The powerful, weighty palate has firm, grainy tannins and a long, rich finish. Viticulture Sourced from mature, low yielding vines, selected from both own and grower vineyards on the valley floor, this wine is a classic statement of intensity and finesse. The 2002 vintage was exceptional, one of the coolest on record in the Barossa. These cool, dry conditions allowed the fruit to slowly develop rich ripe fruit flavours, elegant tannins and good natural acidity. Winemaking After careful fruit selection and harvesting, the fruit was crushed and the must transferred into traditional style open fermenters. To extract all of the colour, flavour, and tannins from the skins the juice underwent an extended maceration. After the fermentation was complete the wine was pressed and racked into new and seasoned American and French oak barrels to mature. After 22 months maturation the winemaker carefully assessed each barrel before blending and bottling. Cellaring This wine displays approachable fruit intensity and richness now, and will develop complexity and aged characters if carefully cellared over time.
