The combination of elevated ironstone gravelly soils together with the cool and even temperatures during the ripening period in Pemberton result in wines of great concentration and complexity, despite the relatively young age of the wines. As a result Pemberton has become one of the hottest properties on the market - the wines from this region can only get better with sucessive vintages. The fruit for all of the Salitage wines is sourced exclusively from Estate grown grapes. This is an impressive follow up to the 1998 vintage. Bright straw colour. The nose displays aromas of tropical fruit, nut, peach and pineapple. The palate has good depth and persistence of flavour with citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours being dominant. Crisp acid finish followed by long citrus, grapefruit and nut aftertaste. Cellar 3-4 years.
