Saltfleet

Saltfleet Shiraz 2025

$40.00

Grown on the sandy loam soils of Ingoldby Road, just metres from where this wine was created, this Shiraz is a true expression of its place. Dark blue and black fruits lead the way, layered with spice, cardamom and intriguing flashes of cherry amaro. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is framed by savoury, structured tannins, bringing depth and shape while keeping the wine fresh and incredibly drinkable. A modern take on McLaren Vale Shiraz, with detail, balance and an appealingly long finish.

Producer Profile

Locals of McLaren Vale, Jonny Cook and Kyle Egel met at high school, forming a vinous bond that has morphed into Saltfleet. The fruit’s local too, sourced from some of the finest sites in the region. The wines are handled minimally and gently, made in such tiny quantities (just a single barrel for most of the reds), the fruit has to be perfect and the winemaking on point. And so it is.

These are classically styled wines, a homage to McLaren Vale and a nod to the future with newer varietals to the region such as Fiano, Chenin Blanc and Touriga Nacional among the range. Richly fruited, succulent, vibrant, curvaceous and with great movement, Saltfleet are only a few vintages in and already making great wines with humble resources. No doubt about it, a star or two is born.
