Curtis Rare Old Tawny 38 years Barrel Aged
The rich, full-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon harvested from McLaren Vale and the flavorful Grenache harvested from older vines with a juice-like sweetness are used to make this Tunny.
The production method is similar to that of Portuguese port wines, using the solera system to preserve the house style.
This Tuny has a deep golden amber color that has been aged in barrels for 38 years. Aromas of fruit compote and roasted nuts. The warm mouthfeel of Christmas pudding, raisins, vanilla bean and coffee leaves a smooth finish. 40 years down the road, you will enjoy this wine.
The Curtis family has been growing grapes and producing wine in McLaren Vale since 1973. Today, the Curtis family is focused on developing complex, premium wines for the Australian market. These premium wines showcase the Curtis Family's passion for great McLaren Vale wines. The Curtis Family Vineyard uses a combination of grapes grown on the family's own vineyards and grapes from high quality McLaren Vale producers. The fusion of monopole (solely owned vineyard) and sub-regional regionality is the secret to their winemaking. The sub-regions are Brewitt Springs, McLaren Flat, Willunga, and McLaren Vale.
