Tolpuddle Pinot Noir 2020

This Tasmanian Pinot Noir oozes style and finesse. It’s effortlessly harmonious and aromatic with bright fruit flavours of strawberry, blueberry and subtle oaky spice. A stand-out pinot with pure texture, flavour, intensity and complexity; all balanced with impeccable artistry. Crispy skin duck breast is the recommendation for this stellar red.

Tolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 and it took its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard.

The vineyard is planted with mature Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, facing north-east, and sloping gently up from Back Tea Tree Road. The soil is light silica over sandstone and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines producing grapes of great flavour and intensity.
