Tolpuddle Chardonnay Tasmania – 2021
CHF 55.00
Tolpuddle are one of the leading producers in Tasmania.
2021 was a fantastic, cool climate vintage in Tasmania producing smaller grapes than normal with intense concentration of flavour.
This is quite expressive on the nose, with some lemon peel and quince notes. On the palate, there is some breadth and power, and a sense that this will be a long lived wine. The touch of opulence is reined in by the classic Tolpuddle Vineyard seam of acidity, bringing the palate into its customary focused line.
The grapes were all hand picked, whole bunch pressed, and fermented in French oak. The wine spent nine months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in tank on lees.
“I was shocked at the intensity of the 2021 Chardonnay when I first tasted it. How could a wine so young have this much flavor? It is polished, glassy and graceful. It unfurls in the mouth and soars long over the horizon. It’s balanced and powerful, crouching at this early stage, but all the building blocks of greatness are here. A wine of extension, expansion and elegance—a formidable trio.” 98/100pts Wine Advocate
