Description / Reviews
"Delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon sorbet and green apple, complemented by warming cedar and spice from barrel ageing (all French oak, naturally). Citrus pith, white peach and hints of yeast lees sit comfortably alongside the crystalline minerality. Judicious use of malolactic fermentation adds creamy richness to the mouthfeel. A tight, linear acid line and palate richness will see the 2024 Curly Flat Chardonnay age well into the future; easily 5-8 years, and likely longer." - Culry Flat, Winemaker
"This release is raw and still coming together but the fruit, the length, the texture and the overall picture all point towards a high quality future. This indeed is an excellent release of Curly Flat Chardonnay. It tastes of lemon curd and white peach, honey, cedar, cream, bacon fat and apples. It has both a firm, textural power and a rampant freshness. It’s bankable in cellar terms." - 94+ points, Campbell Mattinson for The Wine Front
