$120.00

Tolpuddle is one of Tasmania's most revered vineyards, and this 2024 is a reminder of why. Dark, brooding fruit on the nose, lifted by aniseed and pepper aromatics that are unmistakably Tolpuddle. The palate is concentrated and opulent, with fine integrated tannins that extend gracefully through the finish. Complex savoury spice notes and seamless acidity keep everything in perfect balance. Very limited stock — this one won't last. Pair with duck confit, venison, or aged hard cheese. Drink now through 2034.

Aroma

Dark, brooding fruit and lifted aromas of aniseed and pepper.

Palette

On the palate, concentrated fruit is framed by fine, integrated tannins that linger on the finish. There is a sense of opulence to this wine, balanced by more complex, savoury spice and the seamless acidity we have come to expect from Tolpuddle Vineyard.

Wine Making

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 hand-picked fruit is fermented as a combination of whole berries and whole bunches, in open wooden and stainless fermenters, with gentle plunging. Aged for 10 months in French oak, of which about one third was new.

Ideal serving temperature: 16–18°C

Will repay careful cellaring for up to 12 years.

Meet the owners

Tolpuddle is widely regarded as one of Australia's great single vineyards. Planted in 1988 in the Coal River Valley, the site quietly supplied fruit to some of the country's most famous labels, including Penfolds' Yattarna, before Adelaide Hills winemakers Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith stumbled across it on a Tasmanian road trip in 2011 and fell for it on the spot. The name honours the Tolpuddle Martyrs, transported convicts who once worked land nearby. Farmed with care and made with a light touch, Tolpuddle's Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are released annually via waitlist and consistently rank among the finest in the country.

Coal River Valley

About the region

Tucked into the valleys surrounding the historic town of Richmond, the Coal River Valley is Tasmania's sunniest wine region. Low rainfall, abundant sunshine and cooling breezes off the Tasman Sea come together to create conditions that are about as close to perfect as it gets for grape growing. It shows in the wines: Chardonnay with real texture and depth, Pinot Noir with elegance and structure, Riesling with precision, and sparkling wines that hold their own against the best in the world.
