Saltram

There is no doubt that Saltram has taken strides towards regaining the reputation it held 30 or so years ago. Grape sourcing has come back to the Barossa Valley for the flagship wines. The red wines, in particular, have enjoyed great show success over the past decade, with No. 1 Shiraz and Mamre Brook leading the charge. Some of the brand management/label initiatives might lead some to lose sight of the quality of some of its best wines. JAMES HALLIDAY
