Curly Flat Macedon Sparkling NV

“A rare example of the blessing of barrel age in sparkling wine, this is a cuvée of dramatic contrast, juxtaposing the tense malic acid of 2011 in the cool heights of Macedon with the rumbling depth and generosity of more than two-thirds 2000 and 2001 aged in oak barrels. The accord is compelling and distinctive, rich with toasty, honeyed, truffley maturity while upholding the spicy lemon and apple of its youth. It’s long, linear and masterfully composed.”

93 points, Tyson Stelzer
Australian Sparkling Report

“Projecting a full yellow hue with a copper tint, this is a cuvee of profound contrast, juxtaposing the tension of cool climate malic acidity with the rumbling depths of grand maturity in layers of ginger nut biscuit, grilled pineapple, fig and mixed spice.”

92 points, James Halliday
Wine Companion

“An attractively bready sparkling wine which combines aged and autolysis complexity and youthful freshness beautifully. The mousse is creamy and the dosage is perfectly judged, balancing the regional acidity. This is a very good buy indeed.”

4.5 stars, Lester Jesberg

Bouquet
A highly complex nose ranging from nuts, brioche & butterscotch to preserved lemon along with soft red fruits lingering in the background.

Palate
A mousse that is at once mouth filling and creamy, giving way to well directed and refreshing grapefruit acidity that shines through and lingers long in the mouth.

Cellaring
More than enjoyable now, but further aging over the next 3-5 years will see the rich complexity develop even further.
