WINE-MAKING PHILOSOPHY
At Curlewis we endeavour to create highly concentrated, complex, food friendly wines.
We try to learn from the thousand years of European experience with wine and food as a combination, not in isolation as is all too common in the New World of wine.
We absorb the wine-making styles of Burgundy and Rhone in particular but set out to take advantage of our more consistent climate and some of the better new techniques to create wines of greater concentration and flavour ripeness yet still with the full length of palate that goes with ultra premium wines the world over.
Success for us is a Grand Cru Burgundy drinker who buys our wine because in her opinion it almost reaches that quality at a tenth of the price.
