Notes:
WINE DESCRIPTION:
Tolpuddle Vineyard Pinot Noir reflects the cool maritime climate of Tasmania's Coal River
Valley, and the site itself is gently sloping, north-east facing, with light silica over sandstone. The
result is a beautifully aromatic and textured Pinot Noir with intensity, power, purity and
complexity.
Tolpuddle Vineyard is an outstanding site within the Coal River Valley region. Planted in 1988
solely to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the vineyard takes its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs,
whose “reward” for starting England’s first agrarian union was to be transportedto Tasmania as
convicts.
The vineyard is on a gentle slope, north-east facing. The soil is light silica sands over sandstone,
and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines.
The grapes were all hand-picked and fermented as a combination of whole berries and whole
bunches, in open fermenters, with gentle plunging.
The wine was aged in French oak for nine months, of which about one third was new.
TASTING NOTES:
This wine is true to the Tolpuddle Vineyard Pinot Noir style: intensely aromatic, medium bodied
with savoury spice notes, along with purity of varietal expression, fresh acidity and ripe tannins.
