Curtis Octavian MV Shiraz 2020
Inky black hue, the aromas weave through chocolate, dark plums, spices, cigar box notes, bay leaves, black fruits and aniseed. There is a hint of mint and some oak still evident at this early stage, though it is all coming together nicely. The wine is powerful, coiled and concentrated. Impressive length with very soft tannins, though lots of them. The wine, that is rich and full of flavour, should easily provide pleasure for the next ten to fifteen years.
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.
