Salet Wines is located in New South Wales in a small seaside village called Currarong, and is what the French would identify as a "Garagiste" which refers to a group of innovative winemakers in the Bordeaux area of France that produce small quantities of high quality, bigger, bolder, and fruitier wines, typically with a higher alcohol content known to be trendy and receive higher ratings.
The quality handpicked fruit to produce these superior wines is mostly selected from high-quality vineyards of Southern Australia, and are transported by refrigerated vehicle to the cellar, where the grapes are crushed and destemmed, fermented and pressed with the grape juice transferred into American and French oak barrels that are stored in an air-conditioned dark quiet cellar for up to six years before bottling.
Traditional methods are used, including room temperature primary fermentation, with the fruit then pressed to extract the juice using a traditional hand-operated wooden basket press. Being close to the sea where the strong North East winds are prevalent, the sea air is allowed to subtle influence the wine maturing in the oak barrels over those very long periods.
One of the unique features of Salet Wines is that they have a smooth, rich structure, and seem never to spoil. Salet Wines in an opened bottle will keep its freshness for many days. This is due not only to the quality of the fruit and oak barrels, but also the extended maturation combined with historic traditional wine-making techniques.
