Description
Pooley Wines has an historical property and two separate vineyards at each end of the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania.
The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay.
Members of the Pooley family have been actively involved in the business for three generations.
Their longstanding passion and commitment to fine wine are your assurance of un-compromising quality.
The first sweet Riesling to be made from the Butchers Hill vineyard at Richmond, adjacent to the cellar door.
The fruit was handpicked in the early hours of the morning.
The fruit was whole bunch pressed with juice then returned onto skins and soaked overnight.
An inoculated ferment (PDM strain) for a total of 15 days with 5 months maturation on fine lees in stainless steel prior to bottling.
Aromas of apricot nectar, manuka honey, poached pear, and lime blossom on the nose, with candied peach, canelé pastry, and lemon meringue following on the palate.
A lovely balance of residual sugar and acid keeps things luscious, but not cloying, with superb length on the finish.
