Salet Wines is what the French would identify as a "Garagiste" which refers to a group of innovative winemakers in the Bordeaux area of France, which produce small quantities of high quality, bigger, bolder, fruitier wines, and are often with a higher alcohol content and known to be trendy and receive higher ratings. The fruit for the red wines is selected from high quality areas of Southern Australia, and is handpicked and transported by refrigerated vehicle to the cellar, where the grapes are crushed and pressed and then transferred into American and French oak barrels, in an air-conditioned, dark, quiet cellar for up to five years before bottling. Traditional methods are used including room temperature fermentation and wood basket pressing. One of the unique features of Salet wines is that they have a smooth rich structure, and seem never to spoil.
