Description
In 2011 Martin Shaw and Michael Hill-Smith AM MW travelled to Tasmania intending to buy nothing more than lunch. Many wines were tasted throughout the trip, with the standouts from Tolpuddle Vineyard, a vineyard near Richmond established in 1988. The moment they drove through the gate, it was love at first sight.
Located approximately 20 minutes drive from Hobart, in Tasmania; south-east, the Coal River Valley has established a reputation for growing exceptional quality grapes. With a climate at the cooler extremes for viticulture in Australia, it is no surprise that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir perform so splendidly. We believe Tolpuddle Vineyard to be one of Australia’s great single vineyard sites.
