Tolpuddle
Tolpuddle Vineyard has long enjoyed a remarkable reputation amongst wine lovers far and wide. Originally established in 1988, yet it wasn’t until 2006 that they rightfully garnered significant international acclaim by winning the inaugural ‘Tasmanian Vineyard of the Year’ award. Ever since the estate has occupied pride of place on the island's wine scene, continuing to ‘set the mark in Tasmania’ – James Suckling
When Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith MW bought the Tolpuddle Vineyard in 2011, the mastermind duo behind Shaw + Smith on the mainland, it was clear to them that this terroir had the potential to produce some of the finest cool-climate wines in Australia.

Halliday Wine Companion (98)
A strikingly beautiful chardonnay with its flowery bouquet bearing witness to the sheer purity of the incredibly long palate, the full palette of chardonnay flavours on display. Nectarine, white peach and grapefruit zest are sewn together by an invisible silver thread of acidity.Inc. TAX€139.73 -
Halliday Wine Companion (98)
It seems a gross understatement to say that Tolpuddle has been in fine form as of late, but they have knocked it out the park again with this release from the cooler '23 vintage. The palest of straw in the glass, the aromas crisp and filigreed. Citrus, white peach and nectarine cut with glorious wisps of struck match and flinty complexity. Grilled hazelnuts, deftly-judged vanillin oak, lardo, white flowers, crushed riverstone, clotted cream and sea spray. The wine envelops the imbiber; flavours precise and pure with an umami-rich, mineral cadence, dreamy texture and daubs of spiced oatmeal, grilled peaches and flint. The finish is sustained, the only thing unresolved the need for another (larger?) bottle. An outstanding Australian chardonnay.Inc. TAX€521.28 -
The Real Review (97)
Deep red-purple, bright and clear colour; superb rich ripe black cherry fragrance with a kiss of smoky oak, the palate remarkably full and rich, smooth and fleshy with excellent texture and immediate drinking appeal, although it has the legs to age well too. Serious structure, but also succulent, sweet and plush—almost too much of a good thing. Outstanding pinot noir.Inc. TAX€472.08
