Overview
Overview
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. Created in a traditional style, this ‘Survivor’ Vine Riesling from Eden Valley, has notes of citrus blossom, bath salts and musk. The fruit for this wine was sourced from old vines planted in 1935 in Eden Valley.
Eden Valley is in a slightly elevated region of the Barossa, perfect for growing Riesling as the higher elevation helps retain natural acidity and lengthens the growing season. This wine has excellent length of flavour and reflects the qualities of Eden Valley-fine, elegant, and flavoursome.

Taste Description

Perfumed with intense aromas of white nectarines, jasmine, and fresh lemons and limes.

Juicy palate of yellow peach with hints of florals and citrus. The citrus flavours on the palate are supported by crunchy acidity which provides length, purity, and finesse.

Eden Valley, South Australia
Cool-climate Eden Valley is no lush farmland with gently undulating hills: its rugged, windswept terrain and steeply sloping gradients are peppered with rocky outcrops and gnarled gum trees. Eden Valley’s ancient soils and its varied topography nourish a range of distinctive, aromatic and elegant wines. Traditional grape growing in the region focuses on sustainability and authenticity.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2023/2024 growing season was warm by Barossa standards. After 3 relatively mild growing seasons 2023/24 was closer to average with 3 days over 40c.Autumn rainfall was well below average, the driest for at least 120 years – soil profiles failed to fill up at depth due to the dry winter. During February and early March there was a couple of prolonged heat spike, however fine and warm weather reduced disease pressure producing full flavoured wines.
