Product Notes
This wine is true to the Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay style: refined and precise with firm acidity and a combination of lightness of texture and intensity of flavour. The 2019 vintage has succulence and power, with great purity, aromas of white flowers, and tastes of mandarin and white peach, with a dash of sea spray. The grapes were all and picked, the whole bunch pressed and fermented in French oak. The wine spent nine months in barrel with gentle stirring as required, then rested in the tank on lees.
