Right around the time that Frank Potts was planting his nascent Bleasdale Vineyards during the 1850s, an eccentric Prussian named Herman Daenke established a homestead along the banks of Bremer River, which he called Metala.

Legendary winemaker Brian Dolan took the radical step of bottling Metala under its own label in 1959 and won the inaugural Jimmy Watson Trophy in 1962.

Halls Gap Vineyard was planted 1969, along the steep eastern slopes and parched rocky crags of Grampians Ranges, at the very beginning of a renaissance in Victorian viticulture.

Salitage Pemberton Chardonnay 2013 CONFIRM 2013 VINTAGE

Chardonnay Pemberton Western Australia
A fruit driven style supported by subtle oak ferments and Sur lie maturation, crafted by one of the Pemberton region's most conspicuous and artisanal family operated estates. Salitage retain traditional winemaking techniques, delivering complexity of aroma and flavour through clonal diversity, lees contact and French oak treatments. A style suited to those looking for full aromaticness and presence of palate in West Australian Chardonnay.
Elevated ironstone gravel soils and cool, even ripening temperatures contribute to a Chardonnay of great structural complexity and intense fruit flavours. A mix of five clones are harvested off estate vines, a quarter of the fruit is whole bunch pressed and the balance is destemmed prior to pressing. Cold settled clarified juices are processed as separate clonal batches, completely barrel fermented in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques from choice Burgundy cooperages. Upon completion, batches are sulphured to prevent any malolactic, Salitage remains in barrel on yeast lees fourteen months before assemblage and sterile filtration for bottling.
Mid straw in colour. The nose exhibits fruit aromas of citrus, stone fruits and melon, with oak spice and mealy characters derived from the barrel fermentation and lees contact. The palate is generous in flavour, underpinned by grapefruit acid. The finish shows understated oak and excellent fruit flavour and length.

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 showplace 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."

Salitage

Fifteen 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 two 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.

The Salitage winery has been designed with a minimalist approach to both juice and wine handling. Elevated fermenters, spanning three levels in the winery, enable the winemaker to move the wine under its own weight.

Salitage

Salitage is a family winery producing 25,000 cases per year. Salitage use French oak Barriques exclusively for the barrel maturation of wines. Traditional wine making methods have been retained and these are complimented by the technological advances in modern day plant and equipment.

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.

Salitage are proud to introduce the Treehouse Brand and commend these outstanding wines to you for your enjoyment.
