Tolpuddle Pinot Noir 2022 Magnum
Our Verdict
Arguably the most sought after Pinot Noir in Australia, and justifiably so. 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 gone from strength to strength. The addition of Adam Wadewitz to the S&S team simply finessed the charm.
Tasmania produces richer, more full bodied Pinots than most of the mainland, but they retain the fragrance, suppleness and detail that makes it such an alluring variety. The best in the country? Probably …
"Tolpuddle has firmly cemented its position at the pointy end of the Tasmanian pinot noir pyramid, consistently producing knockout wines that have become a benchmark for the region. Nothing changes with the 2022 release, which shows wonderful fruit intensity and oodles of pinosity in a graceful package. Lovely pure dark cherry and wild strawberry fruits, cut with exotic spice, charcuterie, roasting game, shiitake broth, amaro herbs, purple floral tones and complex forest floor notes. Textural and elegant yet with an undercurrent of latent power and intensity, a tight tannin frame and a long finish that shows balance and poise. Just wonderful stuff." 96 Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
