      Pristine fruit from their coldest vintage on record. Lifted aromas of orange blossom and white jasmine are hallmarks of a cooler season. The palate is powerful, layered and textured with grapefruit, lemon pith and minerality. Low yield flavour intensity is balanced with electric acidity. All fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and fermented in French oak. The wine spent ten months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in tank on lees for a further four months. Will repay careful cellaring for up to 12 years. Extremely tight allocations, hesitate and you'll have to wait another year to try your luck then.

      Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2023

      Bright medium-light yellow colour; smoky charcuterie, struck flint and toasted hazelnuts to sniff. The wine is intense, focused and very long on the palate. Piercing lemon/citrus flavours, fresh and balanced acidity driving it long and promising a big future if cellared, although it's a great drink right now. An outstanding chardonnay.

      Tolpuddle

      Tolpuddle Vineyard is the vision of Martin Shaw and Michael Hill-Smith MW, two of Australia’s most respected wine minds. A spontaneous road trip and a chance encounter with the Coal River Valley led them to discover a site that would define their pursuit of excellence. Established in 1988 and acquired by Shaw and Hill-Smith in 2011, Tolpuddle quickly became a benchmark for Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

      Together, they bring a balance of technical precision and intuitive winemaking. Guided by experience from some of the world’s great wine regions, they craft wines that capture the purity and elegance of this cool, dry corner of southern Tasmania. Each bottle reflects a shared belief in thoughtful viticulture and a deep respect for place.
