Tolpuddle Vineyard

It is not bold to say Tasmania produces incredible wine, maximising the cooler, sunny climate, and a great deal of expertise. Tolpuddle is a great proponent of Tasmania viticulture, producing world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Tolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 before a later purchase by two titans of Australian winemaking (and cousins), Martin Shaw and Michael Hill Smith AM MW and takes its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard.

First commercially released in 2013, Tolpuddle has gone from strength to strength and is now widely recognised as amongst the very best in Australia.
