Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay 2024
AU$100, 13.0% alcohol, screwcap, Tasmania.

This release is strikingly intense, strikingly long, strikingly textural and strikingly flinty. It has flavours and scents flying here there and everywhere. Grapefruit, steel, struck matches, garden mint, grilled peaches, smoke and preserved lemon characters drive through the palate with authority. It’s polished and harmonious but everything is emphatic here. It’s a super release.

96 points – Campbell Mattinson.

Tolpuddle is a Mattinson 10-Star Winery.
