2024 Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L Tasmania

2024 Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay Magnum 1.5L Tasmania – The Tolpuddle 2024 growing season was marked by a wetter than normal spring, followed by excellent ripening conditions in the remainder of the season. Despite the wet start, the cooler than average conditions in the Coal River Valley allowed grapes to ripen slowly leading to concentrated, aromatic fruit for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. 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.Fine and precise with fresh sugar snap pea and fennel, white nectarine and a hint of struck match. There is tension and length on the palate with classic Tolpuddle Vineyard acidity and fine, chalky texture adding complexity and interest. A lesson in elegance and restraint.Drink now or will benefit from careful cellaring for the next 10 years.Single Price: $380.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $295.00
