The palate shows tension and length, with the vineyard’s hallmark acidity and a fine, chalky texture adding complexity and interest. It is a study in elegance and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll fruit was hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak. The wine spent ten months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in tank on lees for a further four months before bottling. This careful approach preserves freshness while building depth and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolpuddle Vineyard is located in the Coal River Valley of southern Tasmania – an exceptionally cool and dry region, ideal for growing Chardonnay of purity and definition. The vineyard’s light silica-over-sandstone soils contribute to its distinct minerality and natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile beautifully expressive now, this vintage will reward careful cellaring through to 2037. Best served at 12–15°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100% Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coal River Valley, Tasmania, Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e: 750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/strong\u003e: Approx. 13% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal with seared scallops, roast chicken, or creamy seafood dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060233421035,"sku":"SK68f5d62007131","price":109.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/2024TolpuddleVineyardChardonnay750ml_7ae880bf-b2b6-4bc9-adbd-957a42356710.png?v=1763079543","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2024-tolpuddle-vineyard-chardonnay","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
