William & Edward Salter embarked on their operations by planting ten acres of Shiraz. A shed was erected for making wine and a cellar was carved out of a nearby hill. Their first vintage in 1862 produced 8000 litres which they appropriately labelled No.1 Shiraz. To celebrate their centenary in 1959, Saltram set aside their most remarkable parcels of fruit to make a fortified for future milestones. Fruit was harvested after a cool dry growing season with below average rainfall which yielded robust red grapes, perfect to fortify with brandy spirit for the genesis of a wine with rich fruit flavour and complexity which has seamlessly integrated with extended time in barrel after an extended maturation of fifty years.
