Acquired by Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith of Shaw + Smith, the vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir characterised by ancient marine sediments and a maritime climate, ensuring a long, slow ripening period crucial for developing intricate flavour profiles and maintaining vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking philosophy at Tolpuddle is one of minimal intervention, allowing the vineyard's unique expression to shine. Grapes are hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, and fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, typically 20-30% new. Careful lees stirring contributes texture and complexity without overshadowing the wine's inherent purity. The use of a screw cap for the 2024 vintage underscores a commitment to preserving freshness and aromatic integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2024 release exemplifies the Tolpuddle style: a Chardonnay of remarkable precision, tension, and elegance. It is crafted to offer immediate enjoyment while possessing the structural integrity and depth to evolve gracefully over many years in bottle, revealing further layers of complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tolpuddle Vineyard Chardonnay 2024 presents a luminous pale gold in the glass. The nose is immediately captivating, offering a precise bouquet of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, interwoven with subtle notes of struck flint, cashew, and a delicate hint of reduction. On the palate, the wine is taut and vibrant, driven by a crystalline acidity that frames a core of concentrated citrus and stone fruit. A fine mineral thread runs through the mid-palate, leading to a long, saline finish. The oak is seamlessly integrated, providing texture and complexity without overt flavour. This is a Chardonnay of exceptional purity and length, poised for significant development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TwoMoreGlasses.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48672692764870,"sku":"101101109","price":658.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/1893\/2422\/files\/Tolpuddle-Vineyard-Chardonnay-2023_1800x_4f0b2eb2-7f52-457d-876c-4bdfc79a2d64.webp?v=1794278473","url":"https:\/\/www.twomoreglasses.com\/zh\/products\/tolpuddle-vineyard-chardonnay-2025-screw-cap-1x75cl","provider":"TwoMoreGlasses.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
