Notes
"We’re not quite there but the chardonnay vines at Curly Flat are nearly 30 years old now. Which is pretty significant. 2020 was a super-low yield year so this is in lower supply than usual. It will be released in March.
It’s a wine of wonderful intensity. I drank a full two glasses, which is unusual for me and white wine, and I kept being struck by the force of flavour. It’s long and elegant too, controlled, driven by stone fruit but laced with custard apple, cedarwood, pear and chalk. There’s ample juice here but it has a lovely dryness through the finish; almost a textural dryness, hence the chalk reference. This is an excellent release, perfectly balanced, flavoursome and finessed."
