Fruit was hand picked over the space of 10 days. Whole bunch pressed at cool temperatures to tank and the juice was cold settled. Racked to old French oak puncheons (500 litres) for fermentation. Maturation on lees for 4 months before bottling.
Tasting
Very open nose with jasmine, orange blossom a touch exotic. Flavours are very concentrated with lime zest, red apple and preserved lemon. Great intensity, drive through the palate with a slinky acid profile.
Our notes
Outstanding Riesling with incredible freshness and drive.

Hand-picked fruit, whole bunch pressed; fermented and matured 5 months on fine lees in 5 yo French oak puncheons; 2g/L RS. A cool summer and a sunny autumn with cool nights are an exciting recipe for riesling. Crystalline purity of radiant, mineral acidity drives a core of pure lemon, lime and Granny Smith apple. I love the way old oak puncheons (rather than sugar) have been masterfully deployed to tone structure and build the finish. Line and length are unrelenting, promising a huge future.

Producers notes
Pooley Wines was first established in 1985 when Denis and Margaret Pooley planted vines on the banks of the Coal River in southern Tasmania. With seven rows of Pinot Noir and ten rows of Riesling planted on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale as a retirement plan, Denis and Margaret found a renewed vigour for life. A vineyard that started as nothing more than a distraction for Denis and Margaret soon flourished into a renowned premium cool-climate site.
Now, more than 35 years after Pooley Wines was first established, the family’s philosophy making wines that reflect their unique environment while pushing the quality of the grapes and the wines even further has continued.
The Coal River Valley produces some of Australia’s finest wines, and Pooley Wines has been recognised as one of Australia’s most renowned cool-climate producers, with The Halliday Wine Companion awarding Pooley Wines 2023 Winery of the Year .
