2020 Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay

Tolpuddle is one of Australia's most exciting single vineyards. Tasmania's Coal River Valley climate is cool & dry - ideal conditions to grow Chardonnay & Pinot Noir of exceptional quality. Tolpuddle simply makes it an essential part of the wine, serving to highlight the nectarine, white peach and grapefruit flavours. Likewise, oak is an incidental part, serving to delicately frame the fruit. Very light yellow colour, crisp, fresh, bright bouquet of lemon, grapefruit , white peach and nectarine. The palate is again very bright and fresh, crisp and zesty, with great vivacity of flavour.
