TOLPUDDLE VINEYARD Pinot Noir, Tasmania 2022 Bottle
About this wine
A single vineyard wine from Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, Tolpuddle is already showing promise as one of Australia’s next great single vineyard Pinot Noirs. Planted in 1988, the vineyard takes its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs, a group of English convicts who were transported to Tasmania for having the audacity to form an agricultural union.
In 2006 the vineyard won the inaugural Tasmanian vineyard of the year award, capturing the attention of numerous wine luminaries including Shaw + Smith duo Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith MW who acquired the vineyard in 2011. The first release of the 2012 vintage was met with critical acclaim both in Australia and overseas.

Dave Brookes
Tolpuddle has firmly cemented its position at the pointy end of the Tasmanian pinot noir pyramid, consistently producing knockout wines that have become a benchmark for the region. Nothing changes with the 2022 release, which shows wonderful fruit intensity and oodles of pinosity in a graceful package. Lovely pure dark cherry and wild strawberry fruits, cut with exotic spice, charcuterie, roasting game, shiitake broth, amaro herbs, purple floral tones and complex forest floor notes. Textural and elegant yet with an undercurrent of latent power and intensity,a tight tannin frame and a long finish that shows balance and poise. Just wonderful stuff.

A racy pinot noir, tense with a sheath of graphite-laced tannin, set to cedary, mahogany oak seasoning as a strong currency, and laced with dark cherry, panforte, hazelnut and twiggy herbs, with a gentle smoky spice element in tow. It drives with its frisky acidity, a feature that keeps the wine refreshing and edgy, reminiscent of wines to be drunk a while down the trail. I liked the wine more with time spent with it, evolving attractively and offering more perfume and flavour as the hours went by. Serious stuff here, for those seeking pinot of firmness and architecture.
