Black and blue fruits wrapped in the silk and spice you’d expect from a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz. Generous yet balanced, with a vibrant acidity that lifts the fruit. There's a touch more oak here than we've seen in previous vintages, giving this an extra density and dimension.
Worth getting in touch with us for mate's rates on this one.
Curtis have been making wine in McLaren Vale since 1973. The family history in winemaking stretches back to Italy where, in 1499, Paolo Curtis was charged by the Cardinal de Medici with looking after the papal lands around Cervaro, including the establishment of vineyards and olive groves. The family still farms in the area today. Part of the family moved to Australia and began making wine in McLaren Vale in the 1970s. They draw on some serious old vine resources with Shiraz plantings 60 years of age and Grenache vines a century old in the mix, and forming the backbone of the wines we stock from them.
This might seem like a strange one, but I can honestly say that this combo really works. Usually, when you think of burgers you lean towards a beer, or even a nice glass of red. The freshness of the apple, spice coming through from the tomato jam, and the addition of pork had me leaning towards a Riesling.
I love the name, it could be the bad guy in a poorly shot western movie but instead it's yet another recipe from yours truly that the Heart Foundation has tried to censor.
