The 2022 vintage from Tolpuddle is a standout release that reinforces the estate’s status as a benchmark for Australian cool-climate Pinot Noir. Sourced from the highly regarded Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, this wine embodies finesse, purity and precision with a level of structure that promises exceptional ageing potential.
The nose is immediately seductive—aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry are woven with notes of rose petal, thyme, subtle spice and crushed quartz minerality. On the palate, it’s finely detailed and beautifully balanced. Silky red fruit glides across a taut acid line, framed by ultra-fine tannins and subtle savoury complexity from whole-bunch fermentation. The oak is perfectly integrated, adding gentle elegance without overshadowing the wine’s natural vibrancy.
This is a Pinot Noir of quiet power—refined rather than showy, layered but never heavy. The finish is long, pure and persistent, echoing with red fruits, earth and spice.

The 2022 Tolpuddle Pinot Noir is classical, polished and beautifully composed—a collector’s favourite and a must-have release for lovers of serious Pinot Noir. Limited allocation.
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.
