Curly Flat Chardonnay

Generous fruit flavour, texture, acidity and tension, the making of a beautiful cool climate Chardonnay. It tastes of rich, golden orchard fruit paired with some subtle hints of smoke and a more rounded mid-palate with some bright green apple and yellow grapefruit soaring through the finish.
"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, custard powder and woodsmoke, with gentle herb-like notes littered throughout. The wine's grapefruit notes really power on through the finish, which is a good sign, and everything feels well balanced and knitted. Tuck it away awhile and it'll sing." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 94 Points
