Regular price $229.002-pack of standard 750mL bottles containing one each of:
2025 Tolpuddle Chardonnay
Tight and intricately detailed, as always, with bright citrus, peach and white
nectarine fruits overseen by a mist of flint and struck-match complexity. Hints of
grilled hazelnuts, almond butter, vanillin oak, clover blossom, crushed riverstone,
crème fraîche, ozone, oatmeal and sea spray. Lightly textural, with a beautiful
taut mineral line, the flavours precise and drawn out along its length. This has a
tight mineral cadence, a touch of apple-skin pithiness, preserved lemon, nougat
and a pristine, sustained finish with a flair of umami. This is a producer and a site
that is in the finest of form. No wonder the French are nervous - once again, world-class Australian chardonnay. 97+ Points - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
2025 Tolpuddle Pinot Noir
This is a wonderfully expressive pinot noir from one of Tasmania's finest sites. 50%
whole bunches in '25, and those filigreed amaro and dried spice elements are
woven beautifully into the wine. The fruit base is pure dark cherry, damson plum
and wild strawberry fruits, with souk-like spice, dried meats, Chinese barbecue shop,
shiitake broth, dried citrus rind, meadow flowers and layers of spice and rocky
nuance. It's an immediately attractive wine, with blossoming flavours kept in check
by fine, sinewy tannins, taut, mineral-laden acidity and a long draw of flavour on
the finish, the wine sailing gracefully and true throughout. 96 Points - Dave Brooks, Halliday Wine Companion
