Saltire Estate: https://www.saltireestate.com.au/
Saltire wines are born out of a passion and celebration of the Hunter Valley
and it's connection to ancient Scotland. The ancient ensign stirs the blood, evokes
pride and above all, commands a powerful allegiance.
The original vines planted in the Hunter Valley were planted by proud Scot, James
Busby in the early 1830s. Known as the father of Australian wine, Busby brought 500
cuttings from Europe to Australia and planted them in the Hunter region of Belford
not far from Lovedale. It is from these vines that the majority of existing Hunter Valley
vineyards were propagated.
​When the Leslie family purchased Saltire Estate in 2006 they chose to honour both
Busby and their own Scottish heritage by naming it thus. The land was originally
part of the much larger George Hunter Estate established by the Sydney
restauranteur, Oliver Shaul in the 1970s but these days, our Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz
and Merlot vines are all that remain of the 500 acre estate.
