Curly Flat Chardonnay 2008

Top shelf chardonnay made by Curly Flat, the superstars of Mt Macedon.

Notes from winery
Bouquet: Complex bouquet – shows both the citrus characters of ripe, blood orange/pink grapefruit, together with some slightly herbal, cashew/nutty, mealy and lees characters, with subtle oak residing in the background. Complexity shows further layers with slight briny/oyster shell and struck match tones. A heady bouquet that is complex and powerful!
Palate: Solid weight, yet only 12.8%, with generous sweet fruit up front, together with lots of natural acidity. This grows along the palate line; textured mouth feel; solid acidity, balanced with the ample juicy primary fruit. Seamless line and length, already exhibiting a long finish.
Overall Impression: As with prior Curly Flat Chardonnays, defined by its origins - young but complex, layered, textured; solid structure, yet it has relatively low alcohol (12.8%) It will build further complexity with time in bottle.

Cellaring: Generous fruit allows for early drinking, but will age for many years. Probably peaking about 2016.

"Bright, gleaming quartz-green; a super-elegant wine that reflects its terroir in much the same way as riesling does, even though there are more winemaking inputs; grapefruit, apple, nectarine and mineral notes are the leaders, oak a vehicle and no more. Immaculately crafted. Rating 96 Drink 2020" James Halliday Wine Companion
