Margaret River
A square-faced peninsula that sits very close to the coastline of the Indian Ocean, the region is heavily influenced by the Maritime climate. Cabernet Sauvignon (often blended with Merlot) and intensely citrusy Chardonnay are some of the prominent wines here.
Worthy of note, the stunning, cool-climate Margaret River in Western Australia has emerged as an alternative to white Burgundy, according to Jancis Robinson MW. A wine region that has been praised for making wines of “tension and precision”, the highly respected international wine authority states that its “Chardonnay has longevity, one of the tests of wine quality that too many smart white burgundies fail”.

Vinous (96)This decadently delicious 2020 Chardonnay immediately impresses with explosive aromas of vanilla cream, florals and just-picked nectarines with fantastic aromatic weight and volume. Packed full of marzipan, nutty oak and apricot flavours with a voluptuous texture, there is a perfectly balanced core of tangy acidity which keeps the energy high. A long, ripe and detailed finish tops what is a stunning package. |

Vinous (94)The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Diana Madeline is stylish, poised and precise boasting an intense and enticing core of graphite, blackberry, and black olive aromas. Classically structured, there is immense density to the dark, cedary fruit flavour and tannins, with underlying vitality and freshness. A long, tight and sinewy finish bodes well for the future but it clearly needs time to fill out. |

Ray Jordan (99)It would not surprise me if this was considered the greatest Leeuwin chardonnay yet. You would get no argument from me... there is elegance and power here. Subtle layered wine. It was a year of great concentration and power. Has pear and lime character that is part of the DNA. The fruit is generous, especially about the mid palate. Has a subtle and not overstated flinty character with a lift of spice. The oak is brilliantly managed and complementary. It's very tight and precise and the whole-bunch technique gives it that stalky, phenolics character. There's a savoury almond meal character on the finish. Incredible length and power here. The minerally character on the finish is quite pronounced. In the top three, certainly, of any Leeuwin chardonnay. |

Wine Advocate (97)The warmer vintage here brings concentration, plushness and deliciousness into the mix. While the 2020 Burnside Vineyard Chardonnay doesn’t have all of the mineral detail that the 2019 does, it is incredibly vibrant. Very smart, people will love this. It has the phenolic chew and shape that bring drinking pleasure and add another dimension of experience. Burnside is generally my favorite vineyard in the trio of single-vineyard Chardonnays. |

James Suckling (99)This is a wine we have not yet seen from Tolpuddle. It has such well-curated complexity and whole-bunch influence (40%) sits in the sweet spot. It is concentrated, yet so elegant and the vivid freshness that pervades every aspect of the nose and palate is striking. Aromas of red fruit, such as raspberry, strawberry, red cherry and red plum are framed in spice and fragrance. The palate has such impressive definition and clarity and the tannins are so detailed, fine and clear-cut. Concentrated red and darker cherries are fleshy, yet elegantly focused, and the acidity laces it all up so clearly. So drinkable now and for a decade at least. Screw cap. |

Vinous (93)Opaque, bright-rimmed magenta. A highly perfumed, spice-accented bouquet displays kirsch, black currant, vanilla and pipe tobacco qualities and a smoky mineral topnote. Youthfully chewy and energetic on the palate, offering sharply focused dark berry, bitter cherry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen slowly and become sweeter with aeration. Quite lively for its depth, with building florality that carries through a long, spicy finish given shape by fine-grained tannins. 40% new French oak. |
