Tom White has been making wine since 2002, making wine for his family’s winery in the Adelaide Hills. Tom then established his own contract winemaking business in 2008 and made wine all over South Australia in the Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Riverland and, of course, the Barossa Valley where Tom finally put down roots. In 2012 Tom purchased a vineyard in Marananga, a small town nestled in the heart of the Barossa between Seppeltsfield, Greenock and Stonewell making the wine at Rolf Binder the Winery before Tom’s own winery The Curator Wine Company began operating in 2020.
Meanwhile, in 2020 Rolf Binder sold the Rolf Binder the Winery and took 18 months off. Joining forces once again with Tom White in 2022 to produce The Smalltown Vineyards range. Rolf’s sister Christa is also involved in the project and together, the collaboration produces a range of brilliant wines, from some great old vineyards.
