Planting his first wines in the Barossa in 1859, William Salter meticulously kept a journal to record all of his vineyard and winemaking activities - including techniques that are still used to make Saltram wines today. The release of "The Journal" is a tribute to Salter's attention to detail and his quest to make the best Shiraz under the Saltram name. A blend of Barossa Valley and Eden Valley Shiraz which was matured for twenty months in new and seasoned French oak barrels.

Note: The tasting note reflects the wine when it was tasted in 2005 upon its release. It has since evolved and developed further complexity following years of careful bottle maturation in our cellars. 
Our winemaking team have recently tasted this wine and confirmed its condition. It is drinking beautifully today showcasing intriguing aged characteristics that can only be derived with the passage of time.
