The 2018 Curly Flat Pinot Noir has a layered nose that opens with a flutter of whole bunch lift that seamlessly merges into a pool of vibrant raspberry and black cherry fruits. The layered complexity is completed as notes of spice, leather and black pepper occupy the savoury register. A voluminous palate coursing with flavour is elegantly restrained by the raft of fine tannin that ferries the red cherry fruits along a fresh stream of cooling acidity.

“I believe this is the first vintage with Matt Harrop at the controls. Im likely not recognised as the authority on Pinot Noir at The Wine Front, but Ill do my best for you.
Dried rose perfume in with some fresh mint, deep raspberry flavour, a little almond and vanilla, plus some spice. Its ripe, but not overly so, with cool acidity, a dusting of graphite tannin, and a long biscuity finish. Its generous in style, but keeps itself trim. Im particularly tickled by the quality of tannin here. Excellent.”
