Notes sourced from Saltram Winessize>

In 1844 William Salter arrived in the Barossa and built the historic Mamre Brook house before making his first wines at Saltram in 1859. The Barossa range of wines from Saltram pays tribute to this great Australian region-from the gnarled old vineyards on the warm, dry valley floor to the cooler crisp fruit grown in the surrounding hills- the Barossa is complex, full of variety andwonderfully unique.

Sourced entirely from the Barossa region, the fruit for the 2002 Mamre Brook Chardonnay was the result of exceptional vintage conditions. Near perfect conditions throughout flowering and fruit set ensured solid yields, with the fruit for this wine being picked at optimum maturity to create a wine of great depth and generosity.

Tasting Note: Vibrant pale yellow colour. Light barrel ferment characters with classicvarietal aromas of melon, stone fruit and pear. Rich, full-flavoured chardonnay displays integrated fruit and oak characters. The palate offers intense melon and pear flavours with great length and balance. The finish is long and generous.
