Overview
Overview
In 1859 William Salter formed a partnership with his son Edward, founding the firm W Salter & Son. Edwards commitment to the Barossa wine community for over half a century cemented the foundation of Saltram Wines Estates and contributed to the greater success of the Barossa region that we know today. His understanding of wine and the export market saw him introduce Cabernet Sauvignon to Saltram.
This wine is a salute to the Salter legacy and Edwards dedication, commitment and passion for Cabernet Sauvignon and the Barossa region. The 2023 Edward Salter Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic statement of intensity and finesse.

Barossa Valley, South Australia
Just one hour’s drive from South Australia’s capital, Adelaide, lies its gourmet capital (and wine Mecca), Barossa. One of the country’s most beautiful and historic wine regions, Barossa is a magnet for lovers of fine food and wine. Its classic Mediterranean climate, and free-draining red brown soils, makes the region ideal for growing grapes. Barossa produces excellent Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Riesling and Semillon.
Vintage Conditions
The 2022/23 growing season was wet and cool, it was the wettest spring since 1992 and the wettest November for well over 100 years. Persistent rainfall events and saturated soils lead to full dams – some dams overflowed during the spring, this water and further rainfall events caused low lying areas to flood with some vineyards going underwater. The rains started to ease back over December as surface moisture dried up and the vines enjoyed some much-needed sunshine.

Alex brings with him over fifteen years of winemaking experience and a great love of the Barossa. His style is down to earth – allowing the season and dirt to speak for themselves – keeping winemaking simple to enable a pure expression of Barossa fruit, as is the Saltram tradition.
