Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "I like the stringiness of this, the tension, the fruit, the length. It’s real pinot. It feels as though it’s desperate to rush forward but it holds itself back until it gets to the finish, where it runs. It has a minerally aspect, a...

Curly Flat Chardonnay 2022

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "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,...

Murdoch Hill Apollo Pinot Noir 2022

Region: SA- Adelaide Hills
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Whiffs of cap gun, warm slate, a bit of flint too, plus dark cherry, salted liquorice. Savoury start, very. Smoky and flinty to taste, an override on dark cherry fruit, plum, licks of liquorice again and lingers with smokiness again. Tannins...
