Tolpuddle, in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, is an amazing vineyard with plenty of lineage. Planted in 1988 and purchased by the Shaw and Smith team in 2011, it is planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and over the past decade it has gone from strength to strength. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2024 Pinot Noir reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A wonderfully perfumed and composed wine that comes across as a little finer in aromatic detail than the excellent '23 release. It's an amalgam of clones – 777, 667, Abel, Pommard, MV6 and some that winemaker Adam Wadewitz snaffled from Best's Great Western – all playing their part in the final blend. Vibrant dark cherry, red berry and raspberry fruit tones mesh with hints of exotic spice, a whiff of negroni, juniper, wild strawberry, almond paste, integrated vanillin oak, meadow flowers and crushed stone. Everything plays at concert pitch, with complex whole bunch (50%) notes, the gentle tension of ground-riverstone tannins and a fine, mineral line as the wine slowly trails away. A cracking release that smells and tastes of a special place.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e97 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION, DAVE BROOKES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Medium colour.

It's concentrated and rich, with superbly ripe pinot fruit and seamlessly handled oak, fine powdery tannins running the length of the palate and cleansing the finish beautifully. A less stemmy\/whole-bunch influenced Tolpuddle pinot noir.

A backdrop of thicket and foliage is carefully threaded with raspberries and wild hawthorn. Ceylon tea leaf, sandalwood, and coffee grounds follow. The tannins are crafty—working their way across the palate, sidling in, and revealing their potential only once you’re already reaching for another sip. This vintage has captured impressive ripeness and a maturity of tannins, with an uproar of Christmas-cherry fruit standing loud and proud. It feels complete and utterly enticing, speaking of the Coal River Valley with impeccable clarity, finesse of detail, and beautifully layered texture. There is a long life ahead of this wine and one that will demonstrate Tolpuddles ability for long term cellaring. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e96 POINTS - THE WINE PILOT, SHANTEH WALE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tolpuddle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42590367252720,"sku":"210000000078","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4824\/9840\/files\/TolpuddlePinotNoir22.png?v=1696415494"},{"product_id":"tolpuddle-chardonnay","title":"Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2024(No Discount Available)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*PRE ORDER - WINES AVAILABLE FROM 2ND OCTOBER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tolpuddle story is one of a special vineyard, falling into the hands of zealots.

I guess you could call this vintage a 'classic'. A little more restraint and line than the '23; a little more filigree and nuance, those flinty\/struck-match tones a little further back in the mix and woven through the wine in an intricate pattern. White peach, lemon, grapefruit and nectarine fruits are high fidelity and beautifully poised, suffused with soft spice, clover and grapefruit blossom, crushed stone, cinnamon, a murmur of vanillin oak and spiced poached pear, grilled hazelnuts, crème fraîche and a whisper of onshore breeze. Everything is in sharp relief, with the purest of fruit. It's all detail and tension, with a textural glaze of grapefruit pith and a sapid, mineral line that builds like a crescendo before releasing, finishing long and true. It's a stunner.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e98 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION, DAVE BROOKES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA smattering of quartzite, white apple flesh, and lemon aspen. Chalk dust and fennel seed. Nutmeg grated into white sauce, ground ginger, and the luxuriousness of triple-cream brie. The acidity dances with light, agile feet across the palate, while new oak is so artfully integrated you find yourself searching for the seams it’s been woven into. This is perhaps the most dialled-back expression of oak on the nose—not from lesser use, but from the way it has been entirely absorbed by the fruit and the wine’s palpable energy. Buoyant and spritely, its mealy mid-palate creaminess is swiftly chased by almond skin and a flicker of sea-flake salinity. A triumphant vintage of chardonnay, and a testament to the vineyard’s impeccable quality—one that many fortunate visitors can now witness firsthand. This is as exciting as the 2023 but in a way that is more classic Chanel than Alexander McQueen. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e98 POINTS - THE WINE PILOT, SHANTEH WALE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright light yellow colour with a whiff or reduction early, which cleared a little to reveal acacia honey, lemon essence and hints of snuffed candle.
