Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2023

$85.00

"Killer release of Tolpuddle Chardonnay. This gets down to business in no uncertain terms. It shows citrus and pineapple characters as flashes but its heart is all stonefruit, yellow apple, flint and smoked cedarwood. The effect is powerful, the persona is elegant. This is a wine of long lines and texture like satin. There’s a brine-and-tonic-like twist to the aftertaste but then every time I lifted the glass I saw or appreciated something new; it has more twists than Oliver. Basically, it’s a gorgeous release." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 96 Points

Tolpuddle is a project run by Martin Shaw and Michael Hill-Smith MW from Shaw + Smith fame; they enlisted Murray Leake, Carlos Souris and Wendy Borg to look after the vineyard in Tasmania within the Coal River region, Adam Wadewitz oversees the winemaking for Tolpuddle as well as for Shaw + Smith and all their other labels and David LeMire MW oversees the marketing and distribution. The team focuses on quality above all else, and making delicious and honest single-vineyard wines. They produce Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in small quantities that sell out yearly and show great aging potential. The fruit is harvested and transported to Shaw + Smith in the Adelaide Hills, where Adam and the team make it. A Tolpuddle bottle is a true labour of love and an absolute treat for the consumer.
