Treehouse is the new brand
of Salitage. The Treehouse name originated some
years ago from their grandchildren’s playhouse
built in the forest on their property and continues
the tradition of relating their brands back to the
“Salitage Kids”. The Treehouse wines
are made in the Salitage winery by their winemaker
Patrick Coutts and these outstanding wines are greatly
commendable for drinkers’ enjoyment.
Salitage and Treehouse wines have won open tenders
to supply wine to several international airlines
for their first and business class cabins including
:
Qantas ~ Pinot Noir
Thai Airlines ~ Chardonnay
Qatar Air ~ Chardonnay
Gulf Air ~ Pinot Noir
Virgin Atlantic ~ Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Cabernet
