Curly Flat claims Macedon Ranges is the coldest vineyard site anywhere in Australia, so it's little wonder they chose to focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir when they established Curly Flat in the early 1990's.
Curly Flat's Chardonnay now comfortably sits among the top echelon of Australian Chardonnay and we've recently welcomed the brilliant and very limited 2022 vintage release. A product of another cool and low-yielding vintage, the 2022 Curly Flat Chardonnay was made from three distinct vineyard blocks, which has delivered another pristine, intensely flavoured and beautifully structured Macedon Ranges Chardonnay.
"94 Points. This is quite slender, more slender than I usually associate with Curtly Flat, though it builds flesh and flavour as it breathes and it will no doubt continue to do so as it matures. It tastes of cedar and nectarine, grapefruit and green apple, custard powder and woodsmoke, with gentle herb-like notes littered throughout. The wine’s grapefruit notes really power on through the finish, which is a good sign, and everything feels well balanced and knitted. Tuck it away awhile and it’ll sing.
