The Art of Selection
From Marananga’s ancient soils to your cellar.
Tom White's winemaking journey began in the late 1980s, but it was his obsession with the Barossa's diverse "hamlets" that ultimately led to Curator. By mapping the micro-geology of Marananga's eight individual blocks — each with its own ironstone, red clay, and ancient soil profiles — and extending his search to Seppeltsfield, Greenock, and Vine Vale, Tom built a portfolio that reads like a geological survey of the Barossa's finest ground.
The approach in the cellar is just as deliberate: minimal intervention, maximum authenticity. Basket pressing, natural fermentation, unfined and unfiltered bottling. Nothing added, nothing taken away — just the purest possible expression of some of Australia's most extraordinary old-vine terroir.
