Description
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 vineyard was first established in the late 1980’s and the onsite CWCo winery was built prior to the 2020 vintage. Within the 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.
Winemaker and proprietor, Thomas White, is passionate about curating individual wines from each block to show their differences and add complexity. The 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, Eden Valley and Gomersal.
Curator Wine Co wines are hand harvested, naturally fermented, and basket pressed into French oak from selected Cooperages. Applying traditional winemaking techniques, these wines are made in minimalist in style without fining or filtration creating vegan friendly wines that are dark, flavoursome and juicy with a smooth balanced finish.
