The wonderful Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir 2022

This Curly Flat Central Pinot Noir 2022 is an absolute delight. The OG Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2022 was superb, so I’m not really surprised. But still, this is such a seamless and delicious wine.

Seamless is the right word. Sourced from the oldest vines on the estate, planted in 1992. All MV6 clone too. Opulent red fruit, juicy, ripe but not heavy, 13% alcohol perfection. It’s riper tasting than 13% actually, with sappy raspberry and glace cherry with a late savoury twist. It’s less tannic than the normal (let’s just call it that) Pinot, maybe too silken rather than structured, but perhaps even more succulently red-fruited (which you see in MV6). A medium-bodied, perfectly ripe Macedon red that just feels so very right.
