The Story

Curly Flat has been one of our long-time favourite Australian Pinot Noirs and we've keenly observed the reputation of this Macedon Ranges winery continue to soar. The 2015 Curly Flat Pinot Noir is the 18th vintage released, and as usual this is another epic example of Australian Pinot Noir. Only very limited stocks are available.

Wine Information

Written Notes

Every year, the Curly Flat Pinot forces one to address two questions. Is this the best they have ever made and are there any better Pinots in the country? To the first, if it is not then it is certainly in the final. To the second, perhaps, but none that are better value. Seductive and supple, complex. Forest floor notes, gamey characters, animal skins, old leather. A lovely sappy style, there is some whole bunch character here but it is done so well, it forms an integral part of a delicious and exciting Pinot. 

Score: 97/100

Best drinking: Will easily handle ten years. 

Alc: 14.2%
