Pooley 'Butcher's Hill' Chardonnay 2019 1.5L Magnum
The Wine
The Butchers Hill Vineyard located in Richmond at the historic Belmont Lodge was established in 2003. The vineyard is a prominent feature to the Richmond landscape as it protrudes from the borders of the town. The steep north facing slope of this site starting from 30m-100m above sea level means that it receives some very long sunlight hours, protection from cold southern winds and increased drainage of soils. The ferricrete attribute of the soils not only hold heat and water longer as they are darker but the iron oxide also interacts with the production of flavonoids in the fruit and typically produces wines that are complex and robust. There are currently 6ha of vine planted on this property in total. Pooley Wines
95/100 Huon Hooke (The Real Review) "Peach, nectarine and buttery overtones, the palate deliciously fresh, grapefruity and mouth-watering, with gorgeous flavour and refinement. The palate line is superb and the flavour lingers on endlessly. Great elegance. An outstanding wine that is already very accessible."
