Time for a single site Riesling with some meaning!

Still from the same Flaxman’s Valley vineyard high up in the hills of Eden Valley, still picked in the middle of the night and delivered to the winery before sunrise. This time we fermented it very differently.

Firstly we left a small portion on skins and oxidatively open fermented it with 2-3 daily skin punch downs to keep the skins nice and wet.

We drained off the free run, let settle over night and then rough racked collecting a lot of “fluffy” solids and fermented long and cool in a stainless steel tank.

Lastly, the pressings cut was drained into seasoned French oak to ferment in barrel to give even more texture and mouthfeel.

Once all these ferments were completely dry, we blended small amounts of them together with the free run with the aim to create a Riesling with interest and a delicious amount of texture (ie present but not overpowering).

No fining was done so the wine is Vegan Friendly.

About Us

“The Curator Wine Co was established in 2012 and is located on the western side of Barossa Valley, in the sub-region of Marananga.

The property is 30 acres in size, with 22 acres of vineyard was first established in the late 1980’s. Within this Barossa Valley estate are eight individual blocks, each with unique soil profiles, including quartzite, blondstone, ironstone, alluvial clay loam, sandy loam over clay, and black crackling clay. All of which contribute to the distinctive composition of the grapes produced from these vines.

Winemaker and proprietor, Thomas White, is passionate about curating individual wines from each block to show the differences in soil profiles, rootstock, and vine age. The end goal is to make wines that reflect their site through minimal handling and intervention.

Although passionate about Marananga and his estate, Thomas also believes in profiling the greater Barossa, sourcing small parcels of grapes from selected older vineyards in Vine Vale, Greenock, Hallet Valley, Stone Well and Gomersal.

Curator Wine Co wines are hand harvested, wild fermented, and basket pressed into French oak from selected Cooperages. Applying traditional winemaking techniques, these wines are made in minimalistic style without fining or filtration creating dark, flavoursome and juicy wines with a smooth balanced finish.
