mushrooms and tobacco

raspberries and black olives lead the way

mushrooms and forest floor with wafts of violet

Powdery tannins give structure

and uncanny irrelevance of high residual sugar that are among the hallmarks of great sweet Mosel Riesling

Tolpuddle Vineyard, Chardonnay other_regions_australia mushrooms and tobaccoThe 2023 Tolpuddle Chardonnay is a steely and tense expression that delivers powerful and highly focussed aromas of citrus and florals with a peach skin highlight. Fine French oak sits in the perfect place. Excellent density of youthful flavor follows, with flinty, delicatessen like tones holding firm over a strong, long, adolescent finish. This is a keeper that needs another decade to hit its peak.
