Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes Small Batch Grenache Shiraz blends different from single-varietal wines?
This blend combines Grenache’s bright, juicy red fruit with Shiraz’s depth and structure, creating a wine that feels both vibrant and full-bodied—more balanced than either on its own.
-
What does Curtis Small Batch Grenache Shiraz taste like?
Expect fresh red berries, raspberry, and subtle spice, with a plush, medium-to-full body and smooth finish. The blend gives both freshness and richness in one glass.
-
What is the alcohol content of this wine?
It typically sits around 14% ABV, offering a bold yet balanced drinking experience without feeling overly heavy.
-
Why are old vines important in this wine?
Grenache comes from very old bush vines (over 100 years), which produce lower yields but more concentrated and complex fruit, enhancing depth and flavour.
-
How does the Grenache-to-Shiraz ratio affect the flavour?
With roughly 60% Grenache and 40% Shiraz, the wine leans toward freshness and fruit brightness, while still maintaining structure and body from Shiraz.
-
Does this wine need decanting before serving?
Yes—decanting for 20–30 minutes helps soften the structure and enhances its aromas and texture.
