Salitage is a premium fine wine producer located in the beautiful and spectacular viticultural region of Pemberton, in the south west of Western Australia.

 

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. This collective experience, spanning 25 years in Australia, USA, and France led to the establishment of Salitage at Pemberton, Western Australia.

 

The name "Salitage" is an acronym for the names of Jenny & John Horgan's four children: Sarah, Lisa, Tamara and Gerard. The Salitage label is made exclusively from fruit grown on the Salitage estate.

The Treehouse label contains Salitage fruit and is complimented with some other varieties grown in adjacent vineyards around Pemberton. Treehouse was named after the grandchildren's Treehouse.

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 them to produce wines which have structural complexity and intense fruit flavours.

 

Salitage is a family winery producing 25,000 cases per year. Their wines can be found throughout Australia and are exported to 15 countries around the world.
