The fruit base is pure dark cherry, damson plum and wild strawberry fruits, with souk-like spice, dried meats, Chinese barbecue shop, shiitake broth, dried citrus rind, meadow flowers and layers of spice and rocky nuance. It's an immediately attractive wine, with blossoming flavours kept in check by fine, sinewy tannins, taut, mineral-laden acidity and a long draw of flavour on the finish, the wine sailing gracefully and true throughout.\" \u003cstrong\u003e96+ Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003e\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 Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coal River, Tasmania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red 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 Sustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heritage Wine Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43680524599445,"sku":"1823","price":140.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/TolpuddleVineyardPinotNoirNV_BS.jpg?v=1791270359","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/tolpuddle-vineyard-pinot-noir-2025","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
