“They say you should never judge a Pinot by its colour, and so it is here. The hue is bright, but very light; the perfume leaps out of the glass, highly floral and spicy, and the palate has a totally delicious array of strawberries, wild and cultivated, the flavours lingering long after it has been swallowed. Brilliant outcome for the vintage.”
95 points, James Halliday
Wine Companion
“A delightful and characterful Pinot Noir, its spicy allure accented by this cool season without detracting from seamless, juicy red fruit flow, finely textured mouthfeel and great persistence. A triumph.”
94 points, Tyson Stelzer
Wine Business Magazine
Curly Flat Pinot Noir represents our passion as winegrowers to faithfully capture the essence of our remarkable site coupled with the unique expression that is derived from each vintage.
Due to popular demand, we have now sold out of 2011 Curly Flat Pinot Noir.
Bouquet
A generous array of complex aromatics. Fresh, fragrant notes of raspberry, cranberry and cherry are the main frame, while supporting savoury elements of charred meat, leather and dried lavender give further depth and dimension.
Palate
A delicate fruit wave supported by a subtle raft of tannin floating on a current of lively acidity. The palate journey starts as a single point that gently, but assuredly, expands and evolves into a flourishing finish.
Cellaring
While drinking well now, the optimum drinking window remains some years away. We expect further complexity to emerge with bottle age over the 3-5 years, plus continued development over 10 years, possibly more.
How is this drinking now?
Autumnal undergrowth with vestiges of red berry fruits along with dried flower fragrance. Ethereal palate from a cooler year, but lithe and complex. Drink 2020-2022.
Friday to Monday and public holidays (excluding Christmas Day)
12 – 5pm
We encourage visitors on other days, please call ahead of time to confirm someone will be available to see you.
