Curlewis Winery is an iconic boutique vineyard and winery situated in the heart of the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. It has been making highly rated cool climate wines for the past 14 years. The main vineyard consists of 28 year old MV6 Pinot Noir vines. The soil is black cracking clay over limestone-marl which gives richness, depth of colour plus minerality to our Pinots. The vines rarely produce more than 1.5 tons per acre. The result is premium fruit of low yields which produces complex, well balanced, and sophisticated wines. A further 3 acres of different clones of Pinot Noir have been planted and will provide further complexity to our Pinots. We absorb the wine-making styles of Burgundy and Rhone in particular, but set out to take advantage of our more consistent climate and some of the better new techniques to create wines of greater concentration and flavour ripeness yet still with the full length of palate that goes with ultra premium wines the world over. The winery produces their premium “Curlewis” brand and a second label called “Bellarine Selection.” Their flagship award winning Reserve Pinot Noir retails at approximately $60 a bottle
