Two Tonne® Two Tonne TMV Chardonnay 2023 – 8476036268272

It has been a decade and a sniff since Ricky Evans established Two Tonne in the lovely, cool but sunlit folds of Tasmania’s Tamar Valley. The brand has outstripped the production defined by moniker, and expanded its boundaries to other Tasmanian regions thanks to contract vineyards. But it remains small, site-centric and focussed on the intricacies of those sites.

There’s a lovely sea spray character which carries you into perfectly ripe peach and lemon curd on the palate. The wine went through partial malolactic fermentation, and the acid is pure and long.
