Description
Pooley Wines was established in 1985 when the late Denis and Margaret Pooley planted ten rows of Riesling and seven rows of Pinot Noir on their 16-hectare farm at Cooinda Vale in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania.
The Cooinda Vale vineyard is ideally positioned facing northeast overlooking the Coal River in southern Tasmania.
On the 43.5 Latitude line, the vineyard is planted on northeast facing slopes at 130m above sea level.
This is a unique microclimatic location, being well protected from prevailing winds but still highly influenced by maritime conditions.
The long growing season, which can extend into May, with high sunshine hours, predominately winter rainfall and the occasional frost and snow, combine to provide an excellent condition for cool climate grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay.
Pooley Cooinda Vale Pinot Noir 2021 vintage has abounding complexity and energy in the glass.
An intricate display of autumnal aromas with oud perfume, port royal tobacco, orange rind and sour cherry.
The palate is lifted with continuing notes of sour cherry, red currants and poached strawberry underscored by dried herbs, amaro and a wisp of smoked white pepper.
Caressing tannin, delicate weight, and an elating length on the finish.
