Description
Pooley was established in 1985 when the family planted 10 rows of Riesling & 7 rows of Pinot Noir on their property at Coal River in Southern Tasmania.
This wine comes off those first planted Riesling vines.
Such an enticing wine from the first sniff; jasmine, grapefruit & white flowers on the nose, while the palate reveals lavender, lime zest, green apple & fennel.
Seductive stuff.
Grapes for the 2021 vintage come from a blend of Butcher’s Hill Riesling (60%) and Cooinda Vale Riesling (40%).
They were handpicked and cold settled overnight.
Whole-bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel.
Inoculated fermentation.
4 months on fine lees prior to bottling.
A bright and crunchy cool-climate Riesling with notes of lime blossom, jasmine, citrus peel and granny smith apple on the nose.
Sweet citrus, grapefruit and mandarin follow on the palate with a nervy acid profile and a textured, lingering finish.
