Salitage
Salitage
is a premium fine wine producer located in
the beautiful and spectacular viticultural
region of Pemberton, in the south west of
Western Australia.
James
Halliday described Salitage as: the most
important winery in the Pemberton region.
Salitage is the showpiece of
Pemberton. If it had failed to live up to
expectations it is a fair bet the same
fate would have befallen the whole
Pemberton region.
James
Halliday, Wine writer & Author. Twenty
years later Pemberton is recognised as one
of the premier cool climate wine regions
in Australia and Salitage continues to
lead exporting to more than 15 countries
around the world.
John and
Jenny Horgan entered the fine wine
business more than three decades ago as
pioneers in the fledgling Margaret River
region.
In the
late 70's John worked and studied under
the guidance of Robert Mondavi in
Oakville, California and in 1985 purchased
an equity in the famous Premier Cru
winery, Domaine de la Pousse D'or in the
Cote D'or region of Burgundy.
This
collective experience, spanning 30 years
in Australia, USA and France led to the
establishment of Salitage at Pemberton,
Western Australia.
Great
Wines are made in the vineyard"
Discerning
wine drinkers are increasingly looking to
regionality, they want to know the source
of the grapes, soil types and the climatic
conditions that prevail in particular
viticultural regions.
The
Salitage vineyards are planted on
elevated ironstone gravelly soils and
together with the cool and even
temperatures during the ripening period,
contribute equally to enable us to produce
wines which have structural complexity and
intense fruit flavours.
