Curtis Gladiator
McLaren Vale Shiraz

Crafted from 80 year old vines, this exceptional McLaren Vale Shiraz embodies generations of Australian winemaking heritage.

Each cluster of fruit is carefully hand-harvested and cold-soaked for seven days, allowing the gentle extraction of deep colour and complex flavours from these ancient vines.

​

The wine undergoes a natural fermentation process with wild yeasts for 28 days, preserving the authentic character of the vineyard.

​

Following a gentle pressing, it matures for 36 months in a thoughtfully selected combination of new French and American oak barrels, developing remarkable depth and sophisticated oak integration.

​

This meticulous approach yields a wine of outstanding concentration and complexity, showcasing the distinctive terroir of McLaren Vale and the profound depth that only century-old vines can provide. A testament to patience and precision in winemaking, the Curtis Gladiator stands as a pinnacle expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
