Curly Flat Macedon Ranges Pinot Noir 2007 " ... as ever, a complex and powerful wine, with black cherry and plum up front, then spicy/savoury/forest notes accompany the fruit on the back-palate and finish. No doubting the security of the screwcap in protecting freshness. 95 points." JAMES HALLIDAY.

Curly Flat Pinot Grigio 2009 scored an interesting review by James Halliday in this years Wine Companion.

Torzi Matthews Schist Rock Riesling scored a delicious review from Tony Love... "Pretty lime zest and juice from the start, with a splash of brown lime cordial, give this crisp and pure expression that suits and sits on the palate as it's chalky, minerally textures coat the mouth and a friendly natural acidity creates an…

Curly Flat Williams Crossing Pinot Noir 2008 is the second label of Curly Flat.

Curly Flat Chardonnay 2008 impressed James Halliday in this years Wine Companion: "Bright, gleaming quartz-green; a super-elegant wine that reflects its terroir in much the same way as riesling does, even though there are more winemaking inputs; grapefruit, apple, nectarine and mineral notes are the leaders, oak a vehicle and no more. Immaculately crafted. 96 Points."
