Tolpuddle Chardonnay 2023
Planted in 1988 to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the vineyard is on a gentle north- east facing slope. The soil is light silica sands over sandstone, and of moderate vigour, ensuring well balanced vines.
All fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed, and fermented in French oak. The
wine spent ten months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in tank on lees for a further four months.
"Killer release of Tolpuddle Chardonnay.
This gets down to business in no uncertain terms. It shows citrus and pineapple characters as flashes but its heart is all stonefruit, yellow apple, flint and smoked cedarwood. The effect is powerful, the persona is elegant. This is a wine of long lines and texture like satin. There’s a brine-and-tonic-like twist to the aftertaste but then every time I lifted the glass I saw or appreciated something new; it has more twists than Oliver. Basically, it’s a gorgeous release."
