Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2024 delivers refined sophistication with aromatic layers of crisp sugar snap pea, fennel, and white nectarine, finished with a whisper of struck match complexity. On the palate, you'll discover remarkable tension and persistence, anchored by Tolpuddle Vineyard's hallmark acidity and a distinctive chalky minerality that deepens with each sip. This is a masterclass in understated elegance, a wine that proves true quality lies in balance, precision, and the confidence to let subtle flavours speak for themselves.

Tasting Notes

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.

Winemaking

Following on from a dry winter we experienced regular, well-timed rainfall throughout spring and summer. This rainfall, along with mild and sunny conditions for the remainder of the ripening season promoted strong vine growth, good flowering and bunch development. Fruit ripened slowly but evenly resulting in moderate yields with plenty of flavour. One of our best seasons on record.

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.

Ideal serving temperature: 12–15°C.

Will repay careful cellaring for up to 12 years.

About the Vineyard

Established in 1988, Tolpuddle Vineyard sits on a gently sloping north-east facing site in the cool and dry Coal River Valley. The soil is light silica over sandstone and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines producing grapes of great flavour and intensity. The vineyard is planted to mature Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, and is 31 hectares in total.
