The Curator was created in 2011 in response to a request from a major U.S. grocery chain seeking high-quality, natural wines at exceptional value. Sourced from Swartland—South Africa’s oldest and largest wine region—the wine showcases fruit from dry-farmed bush vines, many over 100 years old. These ancient, low-yielding vineyards produce intensely concentrated grapes that would otherwise be blended into commercial wines. By working directly with local farmers, we were able to preserve this heritage fruit and craft a wine of remarkable character. The name “The Curator” was coined by Gregg Perkins, inspired by Bartholomew Broadbent’s reputation for curating outstanding wines from around the world. The inaugural 2011 vintage was a standout success, quickly gaining recognition as one of the best value wines on the market. Our South African winemaker has led production from the start, with Bartholomew Broadbent overseeing the final blend each year.
