How to rescue a salty gravy???

Hi
I'm cooking for the first time from scratch a coq au vin in the slow cooker, and having just tasted the 'gravy' and it tastes very salty. The recipe is chicken thighs, bacon bits, mushrooms and onions, which I fried off before putting them in the slow cooker, and the gravy was made from red wine, chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, tomato puree.
Can anyone help give me ideas to take the saltiness away, so that I can use the gravy for the meal, instead of resorting to instant gravy.
Thanks

2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
