Curlewis VIC 3222
Australia
Curlewis Winery is a small vineyard located at on the Bellarine Peninsula, near Geelong, one hour's drive south-west of Melbourne in Southern Victoria, Australia.
The Curlewis wine district and town is named after Septimus Lord Curlewis, its first settler in 1840. Rainer Breit and Wendy Oliver bought the tiny 4 acre pinot noir plot in 1997 and proceeded to put in a Burgundian winery.
Curlewis creates highly concentrated, complex, food friendly wines.
Absorbing the wine-making styles of Burgundy and Rhone, Rainer and Wendy set out to take advantage of the consistent climate and incorporate some newer techniques to create wines of greater concentration and flavour ripeness.
This philosophy accompanies their dedication to achieving a full length of palate. This winery strives for the Grand Cru Burgundy standard, almost reaching that quality at a tenth of the price.
