Overview
Overview
Established in 1859 by William Salter & Sons, Saltram wines have a proud history of more than 160 years for quality winemaking, innovation, and a commitment to the Barossa region. Created in a traditional style, this ‘Survivor’ Vine Riesling from Eden Valley, has notes of citrus blossom, bath salts and musk. The fruit for this wine was sourced from old vines planted in 1935 in Eden Valley.
Eden Valley is in a slightly elevated region of the Barossa, perfect for growing Riesling as the higher elevation helps retain natural acidity and lengthens the growing season. This wine has excellent length of flavour and reflects the qualities of Eden Valley-fine, elegant, and flavoursome.

Eden Valley, South Australia
Cool-climate Eden Valley is no lush farmland with gently undulating hills: its rugged, windswept terrain and steeply sloping gradients are peppered with rocky outcrops and gnarled gum trees. Eden Valley’s ancient soils and its varied topography nourish a range of distinctive, aromatic and elegant wines. Traditional grape growing in the region focuses on sustainability and authenticity.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The 2023/2024 growing season was warmer than the previous 3 seasons. Soil moisture was below average due to dry Winter and Autumn rainfall was well below average setting up the season ahead with reduced disease pressure. The Survivor vines yielded lower than average and consequently fruit matured evenly. The fruit quality was very good with optimum flavors and ripeness, while retaining natural fresh acidity. These dry conditions saw the grape phenology mature in line with sugars levels, producing full flavored wines which retained their natural acidity.
