Salitage & Treehouse

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

James Halliday described Salitage as follows:
"the most important winery in the Pemberton
region. Salitage is the showplace of Pemberton. If
it had failed to live up to expectations it is a fair
bet the same fate would have befallen the whole
Pemberton region."

Owner John Horgan studied under the guidance of the late Robert Mondavi in the 70s, and previously owned Leeuwin Estate, another iconic wine producer in Western Australia.

Their wines have won many awards and airline contracts, and are or have been served in the following airlines:

Qantas (Pinot Noir)
Thai Airlines (Chardonnay)
Qatar Air (Chardonnay)
Gulf Air (Pinot Noir)
Virgin Atlantic (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Cabernet)

Some comments from the press

"Chances are many people don’t know where Bukit Bandaraya is, located between Bangsar Baru and Bangsar Shopping Centre. While suburban in location it is very international in its retail wine offerings and approach. Ronald Khoo is the energetic face of Wine Cellar and one of Malaysia’s better informed wine retailers.

The wine range includes German, Spanish, American, South African, Argentinean, Australian, French and Italian. Wine matching with food is important and explains the strong bias towards German Rieslings which Ronald suggests are perfectly matched to many Asian cuisines.

They have an extensive hermetically sealed cellar, great glassware, comfortable lounges and an extensive range of wine literature. "

....The Wine Cellar is also equipped with a custom-built cellar where the wines are stored in termperatures of 14 degrees and the humidity and lighting are controlled around the clock.

....The Wine Cellar is aiming to project a down-to-earth, open image. Customers are greeted with a smile. They will even give recommendations on the right type of wines for various functions. "
