Tolpuddle is a Mattinson Ten Star Winery.
Only the best of Australia’s best are ranked as a Mattinson Ten Star Winery.

Keep it brief, keep it great. The Tolpuddle winery produces single vineyard chardonnay, and single vineyard pinot noir, from the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania, and that’s all it does. It does both beautifully, and to exacting standards. Indeed it produces wine of such standard that its Pinot Noir is expected to soon become Australia’s Most Collected Pinot Noir. Given that 2012 was Tolpuddle’s first release, this has to be one of the fastest ever rises to the upper echelons of Australian wine in the history of Australian wine collecting. Tolpuddle will go from a non-existent brand to the top of the Australian Pinot Noir collecting tree in just fifteen or so years. Tolpuddle is no ordinary wine producer. It is an Australian wine legend in the making.
