Wine Making

2024 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Chardonnay

For the last few years, our Woodlawn Park site in the Tamar Valley has contributed the lion’s share (70% in 2024) of the fruit for TMV Chardonnay. After years of work, this breezy site on free-draining silty and sandy soils near the river in Swan Bay produces vibrantly pure, potent fruit. The balance is sourced from Tamar sites we have worked with for years: Three Wishes in Hillwood (20%), Chartley Estate in Rowella (5%), and Glen Shian in Relbia (5%), resulting in a holistic Chardonnay snapshot of the Tamar. We picked over several passes, chasing racy freshness and round, generous weight. Fermentations occurred mainly in puncheons with a single foudre in the mix (15% new). A single parcel matured on lees in tank, whereas the rest remained in wood with occasional lees stirring and partial malolactic conversion. The wine matured for 10 months.

Meet the owners

Two Tonne Tasmania takes its name from its very first vintage, when winemaker Ricky Evans was given two tonnes of Pinot Noir fruit in exchange for a temporary winemaking gig back in 2013. After honing his craft under Ed Carr at Bay of Fires, Ricky launched his own label with a philosophy he still holds to today, small parcels, big love. Centred on his own Woodlawn Park vineyard in the Tamar Valley, with fruit also drawn from the East, South and North coasts, the range is all about capturing Tasmania's subregional diversity with precision and restraint.

Tamar Valley

About the region

The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's oldest wine region, stretching from Launceston to the Bass Strait in the state's north. Its cool maritime climate and iron-rich soils create ideal growing conditions, and the numbers speak for themselves, home to over 30 family-owned wineries, the Tamar Valley accounts for more than a third of Tasmania's total wine production. Viticulture here goes back a long way too, with the first commercial vineyard established in the mid-1800s at Windermere, its cuttings even helping establish some of South Australia's earliest vineyards. Today, the Tamar Valley is celebrated for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and sparkling wines, each one reflecting the region's exceptional terroir and winemaking heritage.
