Curator Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

The fruit here is sourced from a range of plots from the estate Marananga vineyard. There are 10% whole bunches included in the ferment, which is with wild yeasts, before maturation for sixteen months in French oak, 15% of which was new. Under Diam. An inky black colour here with a maroon rim. The nose is redolent of ripe blackberries and black cherries with leather, chocolate, tar, smoked meats and bay leaves. The oak is integrating well and the wine has impressive length. A mid-weight, medium length style, perhaps a little broad, with a gentle fade. Supple texture with sleek tannins, the attractive flavours are surely the highlight. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.
