Curly Flat
Curly Flat produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Victoria's Macedon Ranges, a cool-climate region in Port Phillip known for elegant, structured wines. The Chardonnay, rated 93.0 by prestige critics including Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator, represents the winery's commitment to the variety. The Pinot Noir, averaging 86.5 across the same critical panel, rounds out a focused portfolio. Macedon Ranges' elevation and maritime influence create conditions suited to these temperamental varieties—Chardonnay develops complexity and mineral precision, while Pinot Noir gains aromatic finesse and textural refinement. Curly Flat's selection of these two grapes reflects the region's strengths and the winery's disciplined approach to cool-climate viticulture.
