The 2024 Tolpuddle Pinot Noir reaffirms why this vineyard sits among the most coveted in Australia. From a pristine single site in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, this wine captures the precision, purity and fine structure that define cool-climate Pinot Noir at its best.
Brilliantly aromatic, it opens with lifted notes of wild raspberry, dark cherry and cranberry, supported by hints of rose petal, black tea, sandalwood and subtle oak spice. The palate is long and focused—silky fruit layered over fine graphite-like tannins and mineral drive. There’s a quiet intensity here: elegance over force, detail over weight, and a lingering finish carried by beautiful natural acidity.
Hand-picked fruit, gentle handling, and fermentation with whole bunch influence give this wine complexity without sacrificing finesse. It’s refined now but built to evolve gracefully over the next decade.

The 2024 release is another superb chapter in Tolpuddle’s rising legacy—a benchmark Tasmanian Pinot Noir of clarity, tension, and class. Allocations are always tight; secure yours while you can.
Every wine is scored out of 100 under the Winetrust Scoring System: Flavour 50 (nose 15, palate 25, finish 10), Structure 25, Balance & Harmony 15, Presentation 10. Totals are computed, never hand-entered.
Two bottles minimum, tasted on separate occasions by a named reviewer, unblind — and disclosed. Gifted samples are declared. Price never touches the score — value is rated separately. Nothing below 87 is listed, and key wines are re-tasted at twelve months with their score history preserved.
