Tolpuddle Chardonnay

RM380.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
One of Australia most iconic and sought-after White Wine, Tolpuddle Chardonnay, from the tiny island state of Tasmania, comes from a single vineyard in Coal River Valley, outside of the village of Richmond; harvested by hand, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed then aged in French oak for nine months.   It’s at once full and concentrated but is reined in by a tight framework of acidity, coiling on rails of minerality before powering across the palate. Tension and detail on point, light textural phenolic elements give it a sleek and silken mouthfeel. The fruit tones of white peach, nectarine and citrus are cloaked in soft spice, white floral tones, struck match, almond paste and crushed stone and the wine displays a stony elegance and seriousness on the long finish. If we were to talk in hushed tones about what would constitute a Tasmanian Grand Cru chardonnay, the Tolpuddle would be the front-runner.   Australian Wine Companion: 98Pts; Wine Advocate: 97Pts; James Suckling: 96Pts Very small allocation available
