Chardonnay

Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay reflects the cool but relatively dry climate of Tasmania's Coal River Valley. First planted in 1988, the vineyard is gently sloping and north-east facing, with soils of light silica sands.

The fruit is handpicked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in French oak, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is gently stirred as required during nine months of maturation. It then rests on lees in tank prior to bottling.

Light bright yellow, Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay is pure and lean in style, with a backbone of resolute acidity. An outstanding Chardonnay. Cellaring potential is seven years.
