White Gate Wine Co 'Curio' Red Blend '22

About the Wine: 

White Gate's style masterfully transforms three bold Barossa heavyweights - Cabernet, Mataro, and Syrah. Utilizing 100% whole berry fermentation, gentle punch downs, and no pump overs, the wines' weight remains light. Each grape's personality shines through, unobscured by oak or high alcohol content, revealing a soft and elegant character. Early picking, except for Mataro, ensures a balanced and refined outcome. The wines are fermented separately, barrel-aged, and blended pre-bottle, resulting in a captivating expression of the three varieties' true essence.
