Salo Wines

Business partners Steve Flamsteed and Dave Mackintosh say that Salo means dirty and a little uncouth, which with the Australian sense of humour, can be used as a term of endearment. They wish to keep their wines a little dirty by using hands-off, minimal winemaking except for a few strange techniques to make more gritty, textured wines....Then they looked across the ditch to Hawkes Bay, NZ, and found some outstanding shiraz. Quantities are unfortunately minuscule. JAMES HALLIDAY
