2019 Curly Flat Estate Pinot Noir

“Deepish dark red colour with a tint of purple and a rich spicy, ‘forest floor’ and dark-cherry bouquet, subtly tinged with char-oak. The wine is full-bodied and strongly built, with voluminous flavour, serious tannin structure and plenty of grip. An impressive pinot of impressive weight, flesh and density, which promises to age superbly.”

96 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review

2019 Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir

“It’s from the estate’s 1992 planting, aka its oldest vines. It was fermented wild before going into 27% new oak.

This takes the tannin up another notch; I was bowled over by this, it’s a terrific wine. Meaty, smoky, plum-shot, silken, cedar-laced. But bold with tannin. Muscular in a nuanced way. The ‘standard’ Curly Flat pinot noir grew on me over the hours; this one hit me with its quality immediately. You can see the grains in this and I mean that as a positive; it’s like an LP, analog, grainy, its flavours told in grooves. Drink : 2022 – 2028+”

95 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

2019 Curly Flat Western Pinot Noir

“Deep red/purple colour, with a sweetly-scented raspberry, black cherry and mixed spice bouquet. The wine is full and ample, rounded and supple-textured, loaded with delicious intense pinot flavours and ample soft, fine-grained tannins, the aftertaste lingering long. A superb pinot, thorougly delicious in every way. The tannins suggest it will take some age to advantage. (From the westernmost and coolest site, the vines planted in 1997 and 1998.)”

95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review

About the Curly Flat Central and Western Pinot Noirs

Back in 2018 we were inspired to begin bottling separate snapshots to illustrate the compelling differences found within our vineyard. While these parcels are still part of our estate blend, as small standalone bottlings they help dig deeper into some of the components that compose Curly Flat Pinot Noir.

The two bottlings are called Central & Western; the names representing their vinous location within our estate.

The Central bottling represents the core structure of Curly Flat, while still aromatic is comprised of darker fruits & brooding savoury notes along with a more robust tannin structure. Also, the Central is comprised solely of our oldest vines planted in 1992.

The Western bottling describes the more fragrant and supple expressions from the coldest sites in our vineyard which ripen late to form powerful, yet distinctly elegant Pinot Noir.

Again these blocks are still represented in our Curly Flat estate wine, we think it’s fascinating to both grower and drinker alike to appreciate the singular complexities that go behind the making, or rather, the growing of Curly Flat Pinot Noir.
