Hints of grilled hazelnuts, almond butter, vanillin oak, clover blossom, crushed riverstone, crème fraîche, ozone, oatmeal and sea spray. Lightly textural, with a beautiful taut mineral line, the flavours precise and drawn out along its length. This has a tight mineral cadence, a touch of apple-skin pithiness, preserved lemon, nougat\u003cbr\u003eand a pristine, sustained finish with a flair of umami. This is a producer and a site that is in the finest of form. No wonder the French are nervous – once again, world-class Australian chardonnay.\" \u003cstrong\u003e97+ Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eTolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 and it took its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard. Tolpuddle Vineyard is an outstanding site within the cool climate region of the Coal River Valley. Planted in 1988 solely to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the vineyard is on a gentle slope, north-east facing. The soil is light silica sands over sandstone, and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines. Since acquiring the vineyard in 2011, Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith have invested heavily in improving all aspects of the vineyard, including soil improvement, conversion to cane pruning, trellis modifications, frost protection and clonal improvements. They are fully committed to seeing it recognised as one of Australia's great single vineyard sites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAustralia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCoal River, Tasmania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e White\u003c\/span\u003e Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Martin Shaw \u0026amp; Adam Wadewitz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eScrewcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43680524468373,"sku":"241","price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/TolpuddleVineyardChardonnayNV_BS.jpg?v=1791270401","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/tolpuddle-vineyard-chardonnay-2025","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
