Wine Rating
 
96
The quality of Curly Flat Chardonnay has always been excellent, but the quality continues to grow in recent vintages.

The wine epitomises the potential of the Macedon Ranges for cool climate varieties; there is such concentration and texture yet only 12.7% alcohol and a baseline of mineral acidity that is more akin to quality Burgundy. The nose has white peach that is laced with spice and almond meal, the palate shows an understated elegance with with stone fruits and lees inputs building slowly whilst being tempered by citrus and lifted by spiced impact of quality oak.

The finish has piercing stone fruits, mealy richness and driving acidity that both hold your attention and focus now, but underwrite a significant future for the wine.
