Curator Wine Co Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$32.00
Barossa Valley Cabernet is one of our great underrated wine styles. Curator’s effort is very cabernet and, as it should be, very Barossa. Deep and vibrant colour, with soaring, glorious aromatics of black fruits, lavender and wood spice. Full bodied, full of vigour and strength, with savoury herbs, liquorice, campfire, crème de cassis, dark cherry, blueberry and hedge fruits. Full of freshness and pert tannins. Definitely not Bordeaux!
Marananga-sourced here. 100% whole berry ferment for 10–12 days then basket pressed into French oak (15% new) for 16 months. Loaded with rich blackberry, black cherry and blackcurrant fruits with hints of licorice, briar, tobacco, cedar, créme de cassis, earth and dried herbs. Full bodied with some blackcurrant pastille notes, superfine, chalky tannins and a bright seam of acidity. 93 Points, Halliday Wine Companion
This Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was hand-picked and had a two-day cold soak then naturally fermented using indigenous yeasts. The ferment was hand plunged three times daily for approximately ten days. Then basket pressed and filled into French (15% new) and two year old USA oak for three weeks barrel fermentation followed by 18 months maturation. Producer’s Notes
Producer Profile
Established in 2012 by Tom White, The Curator Wine Co is located on the western side of the Barossa Valley, within the sub-region of Marananga. The estate comprises eight distinct vineyard blocks, each defined by its own soil profile, contributing to the character and complexity of the fruit.
Tom’s focus is on curating individual wines from each block, exploring the nuances of soil, rootstock and vine age. His philosophy is simple: wines are made in the vineyard. From there, the approach in the winery is deliberately minimal, allowing site expression to take precedence.
Fruit is hand-harvested, wild fermented and basket pressed to French oak, with no fining or filtration. The result is a range of wines that are dark, flavoursome and generous, yet balanced by a natural sense of structure and flow. All wines are vegan-friendly.
