Gourmet Traveller WINE April/May 2011

Tuesday April 12 2011

Two of our Salitage wines were selected in the Top 100 from Australia and New Zealand in the latest edition of Gourmet Traveller Wine, voted the World's BEST Drink Magazine!

2008 Salitage Pinot Noir
"This is quite a forward style, with a mellow, developed, slightly foresty bouquet that's showing good depth of wood-matured character, as distinct from oakiness. It's powerful in the mouth, with good texture and plenty of grip, and would shine with protein-rich food." 92 points, Huon Hooke.

2009 Salitage Chardonnay
"This is quite a highly worked wine with lots of artefact: toasty oak, nutty, vanilla, caramel and hazelnut-cream aromas. It's medium-bodied with a pillowy softness which is very appealing. Seamless, with natural-tasting acidity and loads of style."
92 points, Huon Hooke.
