2023 TOLPUDDLE VINEYARD CHARDONNAY - chardonnay - coal river valley, tas
POWER AND GRACE.
WHY WE LOVE IT:
super highly rated release from tolpuddle - that’s not why we love it, but we’re just sayin’.
one of Australia’s most sought after chardonnay releases every year, this vintage shows pineapple, stone fruit, apple, flint and smoked cedar wood with a texture like satin. gorgeous now, and will be equally gorgeous in the next 10 years. we bought some to drink and some to cellar!
Tolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 and it took its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard.
The vineyard is planted with mature Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, facing northeast, and sloping gently up from Back Tea Tree Road. The soil is light silica over sandstone and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines producing grapes of great flavour and intensity.
POWER AND GRACE.
