Description
Situated in the cool climate of Victoria ‘s Macedon Ranges Curly Flat has long been regarded as one of Australia ‘s finest producers of Pinot Noir and indeed one of the “superstars ” of this region.
A stunning vintage in Macedon. All the elements are here for the wine to benefit from age with its abundant fruit. structure and length. By all means enjoyable now but more complexity awaits over the next 6+ years.
95 points. Tyson Stelzer … “The child of a season Phillip Moraghan describes as ˜postcard perfect. ™ this is one of the most pristine pinot gris I ™ve encountered this year. Magnificent and crystal clear in its clarity of pear. lemon and hints of fresh nutmeg. it ™s an immaculate contrast of impeccably balanced fruit concentration and the taut acidity of this cool site. Beautifully fine. mineral mouth feel is reinforced by wild fermentation and three months in 40% old oak. ”
93 points. Gourmet Wine Traveller … “This is a very ripe. rich. full bodied gris of 14 percent alcohol with a typical coppery tinge to its colour. The spicy. ripe peach aromas meld with a suggestion of barrel. It ™s full in the mouth with a tickle of sweetness and a silky texture. Lively acidity keeps it fresh. “
