curlewis....

is a small wine growing district on the Bellarine Peninsula, near Geelong, one hour's drive south-west of Melbourne, Australia.

It was named after Septimus Lord Curlewis, its first settler in 1840.

Rainer Breit and Wendy Oliver, professionals in engineering and management education, bought the tiny 4 acre pinot noir plot in 1997 and proceeded to put in a Burgundian winery.

The now 20 year old vines produce the core of the quality and concentration that is expected from Curlewis wines. Our proximity to the southern ocean ensures cool ripening and highly varietal pinot noir flavours. The vineyard is on black cracking clay over limestone, a combination that produces deep coloured yet elegant wines.

Other low yielding pinot noir, chardonnay, pinot gris and shiraz grapes are sourced from local vineyards to complete the product range.
